No kidding. When I sat inside, I forgot how ugly the steering wheel and the plasticy center console were. The nappa was velvety smooth, you definitely have to make sure your pants and shirt are clean before sitting on it.
This combo is so perfect I wouldn't want to replace any of the wood trims with cf.

Reason I ask is that all the Canadian dealers were recommending an 18" set up for my C55 before it arrived and then the Spec label recommended a 225/17/45 setup for winter. Thats what I have now with OEM AMG W203 5 spokes with Pilot Alpins all around.. Great set up and was hoping to duplicate it with the C63.

I like very much! The interior really sticks out in sahara beige vs the black/black. I had two cars that were white/white and white/beige and they don't get as dirty a one might think. If your in a warm weather climate there is a huge difference in how much heat the lighter colors dissipate as well.
PS. You have a very nice camera -- great shots!

By the way - for all the talk of the M3 extended leather etc, a couple of personal thoughts:
- The base c feels like it has a far better interior than the base 3-series - better plastics, way more solid, more contemporary design.
- Now compare this c63 (above) with an m3 with extended leather - not even close. I've driven the m3 and was really disappointed in the interior - my old e43 m3 (cinnamon leather / black) felt way more special.
- The cheap 3-series plastic can't be hidden by a bit more leather under the dash and on the center console. Other details like no power steering column shift (on a $70,000+ car) and the cheap looking air con controls (don't wear polarized shades), let this spectacular car down.
- The sahara beige interior above, IMO, looks truly spectacular. I can't wait. It's a car that will feel special before I even turn the key. Then, when I turn the key ...
- SImple, clean, luxurious, contemporary - actually prefer it to any other benz right now, including the SL, CL and S (honestly) - and before someone mentions the leather dash on those models - you can aftermarket that on the c63 for about $5,000.

With all kinds of lightings and reflections from many different objects in the garage at that time, it's hard to keep the white leather to look consistent from different angles. The fifth pic (left door panel) has the closest representation to the real color.

Maybe it's because they were seen through a lightly tinted windshield.

Porcelain Nappa with some kind of black wood trims, I don't know what it's called. It wasn't Black Piano Lacquer like what ClayJ said, and it wasn't Black Birdseye Maple either. Something in between. I could see the maple wood grain very subtly. Headliner was black.

Looking at that S class I see where you're coming from but I do think it's the Sahara beige / black interior. This color has been used once before, so I'm told, in the SAKS 5TH AVE C350 special edition:

Looks like the same tone as photo 3. If not, it's pretty close anyway.

I don't think it was Sahara either, I'm almost sure it was Mystic White.

Lighting is everything I guess. I think Photo 3 looks most like Sahara as well.

I actually salivated while looking at this C63. Too much info? Sorry...lol
Love that interior but mine will have to be black. My little boy would have a field day in there with that white.

Does anyone have pictures of the Carbon Fiber interior. I have the Maple on order and I remember my sales rep saying that Maple comes with 030 PP.
I read in another thread that CF comes with 030 PP, but that was Canada. I also have the 030 PP ordered so im afraid the sales rep might be confused, as a lot of them are.
Can anyone clarify which interior comes with 030 PP and if anyone has a pic of C63 CF interior?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!
