08' S550,,,C63!
White/Beige

I have just bought a C63 which is White on Biege and it is fully loaded but I had one question does anyone know what exactly comes with the AMG leather pkg?

The car arrives in a week or so!


Alos does anyone have any pictures of this color combination?

Here are some pictures of my Audi S5 combo.

I hope the C63 combination looks as great.

Do a search of the forum and you'll see some great pics of that exact color combination.

Actually I know they are two totally different cars.

I have the S5 because it is a 6 speed-manual and it is for weekend drives only but the C63 beast will be for weekday fun.

I thought that the beige would be somewhat darker but I like the softer tone beige on the leather with black accents.

Last Emperor-

Are you sure they are partially cloth if you don't get the full leather package? Partially MB Tex I could see, but I highly doubt cloth.

Without the package the interior is MB Tex (vinyl) and cloth. The package upgrades the interior to nappa leather and also adds memory seats.

I'm surprised (and disappointed), cloth on a top of the line C-Class?

I knew MB cost cutting had gotten bad, but that's a bit extreme.

Thanks for the confirmation, whoover

Wow cloths that sucks. I would never get a C63 with vinyl and cloth.

Now the Nappa looks sweet!

Now we have conflicting reports.

Whoover says that cloth is on the "standard" interior and Last Emperor is saying it's MB-Tex

I believe it's leather/MB-Tex on the standard interior and full leather on the upgraded interior.

Whoover - Are you sure there is cloth? I can't imagine that, even on my '05 C230 Sedan the standard seating doesn't have cloth. It's a combo of leather and MB-Tex.

FYI - MB-Tex= Vinyl, looks almost the same as leather.

cloth is just the TERM i used


here is the difference

NON LEATHER = leather seats, and the middle of the seats are MBTEX

LEATHER PACKAGE= full leather saets

already confirmed with pics in another thread. it's mbtex with cloth inserts.

i'm fine with them offering this up. some people prefer no leather - not me, but takes all sorts. bmw offer the same in the m3.

This was posted by Eric Linder, AMG Product Manager, at the AMG Private Forum on 3/26:

The standard upholstery on the C63 AMG is MB-Tex with Cloth inserts. The leather option (package 318) is indeed Nappa leather.

Nearly all of the MY2008's have been built with the 318 package. There is a small number of cars that will arrive with the standard upholstery. Availability for the standard interior will open up on a larger scale in MY2009.


There is no cow whatsoever in the standard interior. Leather with vinyl inserts would make no sense.

Yes, older base interiors were vinyl with leather seating surfaces. Now they're vinyl with cloth inserts. Thank the fall of the dollar and the desire to have a base price under $60K. All told, not too surprising. I wouldn't touch a non-leather C63. I think it would affect resale value. Plus, the full-aniline (nappa) leather feels great.
