E550 black&ash
Hi all-
Im new here.
My wife and I gave each other MBs for Christmas. I got her a GL350 and she got me a E550. I got chose the designo color Platinum Black Metallic with the black and ash interior with the walnut trim. Anybody have pics of the black and ash interior?
Also, is the message seat wora good option?
Thanks. I look forward to participating in discussions here and posting pics of our gifts after arrival and pick up.

Thanks for your responses.
Ngerstmen- I bet they were really nice socks!!
What I'm concerned is how the ash and black will look together. Is the ash too light?
I also opted to not get the pano, just a regular sunroof. I have one on my current Audi and don't use it much. Also I'm folically challenged and don't need any extra sunlight or heat on the dome. If you know what I mean.

We're moving back to NJ after a 15 year stint in Puerto Rico. So we ordered the vehicles with a spring delivery. I'm getting antsy with anticipation, though.

Don't want to give you any angst, but are you aware that there may be completely new engines for the 2012 model year. There coming soon.Just thought you should know. Regards. Ned.

Not a great photo as the seats look a lot lighter than they really are:
I have black ash wood trim and I think the interior looks awesome - really sporty. My wife's ML also has black/ash interior but with walnut trim and it looks really good as well, much sportier than her previous ML with all beige interior...

Chuck- Well that just looks awesome. Now I can sleep at night.
Mucho Thanks!
Do you have any photos of the backseat, footwells and dash? And maybe from the front through the windshield. If not readily available, no problem.
Again, thankyou.

I'll try and get some more pics up this weekend including some shots of the ML's interior so you can see the walnut trim.

I think you did good. I'd rather have a NA motor anyday over a turbo unless it was some significant differences which it doesn't look like it will be that way. I would of waited for the V6 but get the 550 now.

I called the dealer to see if they could add the seat upgrade at this time and change the trim to the black ash. Chuck's pics are beautiful!
Also, for those interested, I got the luxury rather than the sport. The reason I did this is because I'm leaving a 2006 Audi A6 4.2 (118,500 miles)with 18" wheels in Puerto Rico and I've changed enough tires in my time. The road in Nj are no better than they are here in PR. And I'm not that aggresive a driver anyway.

You may already know this, but I would not want someone to make a decision based on an incorrect assumption.

The interior pics you see in this thread are of a sport. The luxury interior is monochromatic whereas the sport has a black dash, carpet, headliner, and upper and lower door trim. Only the seats and the center insert on the doors are the selected (ash in this case) color. The luxury will be all ash. So, you will not have the contrast you see in the picture posted in this thread.

My wife's ML, via special order, has a black headliner, dash, carpet, and door trim so aside from the walnut wood trim (and ventilated seats ), it's interior is identical to my E.

Okay, just took the ML for a spin and it's not exactly the same - the bottom half of the dash is gray and so is a majority of the door panels.

More pics
Here are some more pics of my E's interior. Wife had to go into the office this morning so I don't have access to the ML but I'll still try to get some shots of it up this weekend.

Is that almond? It looks so light in these pics. I love the seat design of the Leather cars with the truly-classic-M-B vertical stripes, very comfy look.
My interior is also Almond, but it has the Burl wood, which changes the character of the interior a lot (I'm a sucker for Burl/Almond).
