Alright. We picked up out C63 on Thursday and love it, spent a good chunk of the day detailing it on Friday.... noticed the rear wheel wells have an almost carpet lining in in them... what is that all about?

Preowned?

This is stock trim. Not sure what its about maybe sound deadening (sp?)

Yeah I know exactly what your talking about. Comes standard. It's obviously not carpet but it does and almost feel exactly like it! I believe it's something far from that but it's put there for reducing noise.

mine too.....i thought this was weird also?????

I thought the same thing but after 18000kms it holds up really well - wears a hell of a lot better than the tyres!! Only minor complaint would be that if you are a detailing freak the carpet seems to attract leaves and twigs etc that can be a bit fiddly to get rid of when cleaning the car

It's to reduce the noise from all of the rubber flying off your rear tires

I believe all MBs have this, I know all of the ones I've owned do.
And yes it's sound deadening material and a ***** to keep clean!
