i just wanted to say hello and share a few pics, im new to the MB forums

Benzinini

Welcome g2k! Looks splendid. Dont see too many in that colour combination. Is that a 2010 or 11? Also cant tell if it has the pano roof.

My favorite color, never seen in dealr's lots. Perhaps special order. Steering wheel also looks better, perhaps it is luxurary edition.

My favorite color as well and reminds me of my ex TL with Mayan Bronze. Very similar. I love the color combination as it compliments the chestnut brown interior.
Now all you need is a "MB" banner to put across from your Lexus banner in the garage! :-)

Absolutely beautiful! What a great special order combination.

Yes both Cuprite Brown paint and Chestnut Brown leather are special order choices for the E-Class sedan. This car is a Sport, the steering wheel is the standard steering wheel for the E350 Sport. If you get the wheel package or and E550 Sport you get the AMG 3-spoke steering wheel.

Thank you for posting, great looking car!

I'm new to this, so I'm hoping you can help. When you say special order, do you mean these are "designo" colors, or is there a separate special order pallette for interior and exterior colors that you can get without going through the designo process?

Thanks again for posting!

Gorgeous.

Yes it was a separate design pallette,if you try to build one online on mbusa they do not offer these colors,when I ordered it everyone at Mercedes was excited to see it because they said no one there has ever sold one or seen one in person before

It's good to see people step away from the ordinary. Very nice car, enjoy!!!

Thanks g2k, one more question. Where can you find more information about this other, non designo, non standard color palette? I'd just like to see what other colors are available. Also is it less expensive than the designo options?

I guess thats two questions?

I just went in and asked about it and they told me also it was $1750 extra for the cuprite brown,hope this helps u out

That's not the correct price. Cuprite Brown is the same as any other metallic paint $720. And there is only a $250 Special Order fee.

MBUSA introduced a new Special Order program last year which allows you to order certain options, colors and interior leather and trim choices that are available in other parts of the world, but not normally in the U.S. There is a fee of $250 for any Special Order car and then you pay per option (but there is only 1 Special Order fee charged per car and then you can order as many things you like). For example this Cuprite Brown with Chestnut Brown leather car that the OP bought only had 1 Special Order charge of $250 and then a charge of $720 for metallic paint and $1,620 for leather. You can get some Special Order options at "no charge," meaning that there is only the $250 admin fee, but the option itself is free, such as Aluminum trim on the E-Class.

greatly appreciated. I guess what I was hoping to learn was, where exactly can I see the extended color palette that is available for leather, and paint. I really like the chestnut brown the OP ordered, but I would like to see what else is available.

I assume this is in the same quality of leather that is standard for the cars, and if I want nappa leather, I need to order a designo package?

Thanks!

Unfortunately in terms of colors for Special Order on the E-Class, there is only Cuprite Brown paint and Chestnut Brown leather. There are some additional choices on different model lines, but for the E-Class this is it. The Chestnut Brown leather is the same quality as the standard leather choices. You are correct, you need to order designo to get Nappa.
