This is awesome. Can you tell us exactly which options you have here? Looks like alcantara headliner, Designo leather (obviously), black piano lacquer trim w/ wood wheel...do you have the leather (or MB tex) dash?

Seats in the last pic look black though -- is that just a stock photo or something? Do you happen to know the exact color of the seats in the last one?

Really nice. Love it!!! What color is the wood? Does that steering wheel allow the safety package that includes blind side and lane wandering warning? Is that a driver dynamic seat without ventilation? Thanks. Ned.

Actually that's a fantastic question -- can you get ventilated seating with designo leather? Doesn't look like you have it on this car but don't know if that's a Canada thing or a Designo thing -- ventilation comes standard with P1 on a 550 in the US.

You can actually see how beautifully supple that leather is compared to the regular leather seats. Well done!

Is that a 4matic?

I have the the following options:

Leather dash is not available at the time of order.

This wood steering wheel has the lane departure warning but no heated function as the wood will crack per sales person.

I am not sure if it can combine with designo leather but it was an $1200 CAD option.

Ah wow, just the regular black ash, huh? Looks really glossy, hence the guess of black piano lacquer. Looks like anthracite is black, yes?

Still, what's the last pic in your original post?

"I am not sure if it can combine with designo leather but it was an $1200 CAD option." -- I assume this means that you didn't try to get the option?

Anthracite is more like very dark grey when see in person.

I just played around with photoshop and changed it to black & white. leather is still red in color.

No, I did not get the ventilation option.
