Questions about seat adjustments, leather coverage

I'm hoping owners can help me answer a few product content questions on the new C63.

First of, which power adjustments do the standard and optional seats have?

As far as I can tell, the standard seats have:

1. Fore-aft
2. Height
3. Tilt
4. Recline
5. Thigh support (cushion length)
6. 4-way lumbar

But NOT headrest height, which I believe was included on the W204. Or not?

And the optional performance seats have ALL of the above, plus:

7. Cushion bolsters
8. Seatback bolsters

One more:

Does the optional leather on the regular (non-S) C63 include leather on the instrument panel, as in the S-Model? Or does this remain MB-Tex?

The standard seats have power headrest height adjustment, but not the performance seats. The bolsters on the performance seats on the driver's side have power adjustments on the driver's side only for the cushion and the seatback (passenger side is seatback only).

The optional leather on he C63 only has MB-Tex on the instrument panel.

Thanks!

I've also sorted out that the "nappa optik" on the C63 S instrument panel is just a different type of synthetic material, not real leather.

Since the headrests are power, the seats seem to be 16-way power. It is possible to adjust front and rear height separately, to tilt the seat cushion, right?

There was no headrest height adjustment on the W204 C63 sedans as the headrests were incorporated/integrated into the seat back (seats were made by Recaro; Recaro is also the maker of the W205's "Performance" seats w/ integrated headrests). The W204 C63 coupe's seats were slightly different and had adjustable headrests.
