That's right, and 98% of the dealers allocated E350s are MBTex. So there's normally no choice but MBTex unless you find a rare leather optioned version or special order the car. The majority of buyers don't know and/or don't care if it's MBTex or not, anyway.
If one specifically wants leather, then go for it.

E350 with mbtex or leather?
Hi.I am new to the forum. I have a 2009 E350 sedan - seats are MB TEX ( after calling to Mercedes Benz - help-line, I found that, Edmunds review was telling 2009 MB E350 leather upholstery).
The Driver's seat is tearing out on its own - slowly it is increasing.car was driven under 50000 miles. Mercedes Benz asked me go to Dealer and get the estimate.
Why MB Tex is such a bad material - it is tearing out withing 5 years or less???
Just querious, anybody have any suggestions and experience of having MB TEX upholstery - which is coming off?

One thing is that 90% of the time I am alone in it. When I compare the passeger seats, front and rear, to driver's, cannot tell any difference. In cars with leather in the past, about a few years, the driver's seat would appear to be more worn.
Also, had a car where the leather seats began to separate along seams and split and crack after about five years.
I do use Vinylex vinyl treatment on the seats and all plastic surfaces about twice per year.
