wood colours

I have done a search and there seems to be confusion over which is darker the burl walnut or the laurel wood. Are there any pics of the two side by side??

The laurel wood is the darker of the 2, which is what i went with on black interior. i think the mini brochure showed this. i wish they offered something similar to the brabus interior package for the CLS...

here is a pict of laurel: https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ghlight=laurel

i may be wrong, this is it according to benz:

Hand-finished Matte Burl Walnut wood trim. (High-polish Laurelwood optional at no additional charge.)

So it sounds like the duller finish is the Burl, and the High polish is the Laurel. i ordered so long ago, i think i got confused myself

There is confusion on the wood issue. I ordered the gloss Laurel hoping my car would have the wood as shown in the mini brochure. However the forum photos of gloss Laurel look much darker that the gloss laurel in the mini-brochure. Wait and see for a end of Feb delivery.
