My first Merc is here and I think its great. I love the retro interior (reminds me of the rock solid Mercs of old).

2012 CPO E550 4MATIC 8 months in service (i.e. better than new warrantee)
Diamond White with Natural Beige gut with Black Ash
P2
Driver Assistance pack
Parktronic
Active multi-Contour Seat
Panorama Roof
Roof/Trunk Spoiler pack
Illuminated Door Sills
Folding Rear Seat
Comfort Box
Wheel Locks

 

Wow you have a loaded car. I regretted a lot in not getting the multi-contour seats =\. Hope you enjoy your new car!

 

very nice color combo and like what you said, the retro interior looks very sharp !

 

Is it just me or it is kind of weird that the colour of the leather and the door panel looks weird? I hate how they aren't the same colour and that's probably why I went with black interior because I wanted it to look flush.

 

some people don't like the multi-contour seat but i love it. so you don't have to regret. you could be the one who don't like it .

 

color is really a personal preference. some hate white, i'm one of them, but some love it. i'm just like one of the members here, (forgot who, sorry ) we both agreed mercedes and bmw did a wonderful job on their white cars. i was actually looking at white before i made my finally decision on iridium. as for the interior color, i find two tones looks pretty interesting. in fact, many exotic cars have two tones or even more interior nowadays. like it or not, to each his own. all we care is it's a great looking, loaded car .

this is from a aventador:

 

I have just seen this lovely car's pics at the other topic as well
What intrigued me is why your have different seat contours , pleats lol Well, yours should have been vertical as your AMG package suggest but your seats look like Luxury / Elegance version

I like black interior no matter what but two tone seats don't look terrible at all lol

 

wow, congrats
looks nice!!!
I see you also have a 2007 911

 

Since I didn't order the car, I don't really know. I just looked at the original window sticker and it notes the Sport Pack but separately lists Comfort Suspension. It also notes Elegance Badge Deletion and Burmuster designation. Not sure what all that means, but it may all add up to different seats than another member expected.

Funny, but I had the same concerns about color (white on tan screams real estate agent to me). I never liked white and was unsure about the two-tone interior, but the car had the options I wanted and was priced right so I figured I'd give it a try. In person, the colors look great and the two-tone interior really is a nice departure from all black (and with two little terriers, I'm just as glad to have a car with an interior that hides their fur a little better).

Beautiful car...I love the color combo! These cars look GREAT in white for some reason. Also, I think the Natural Baige interior is awesome...congrats!

 

The Merc is quiet,comfortable and has effortless power. But nothing beats a P-car when it gets twisty.

 

looks great PT01.......

I think mine is kind of like yours

 

Congrats on the new car. One of the things that really sold me on the W212 was the interior, especially the dash, instruments, etc. However, I prefer to think of it as traditional rather than retro.
Might be semantics, but to me retro means intentionally tried for an old-fashioned look whereas traditional means they have stayed with a proven, functional style rather than submitting to the trendy fashionistas of other companies.

 

My thoughts exactly , dash is the best in what you can find in any car
I like buttons galore no matter what lol
A very detailed digital A/C unit adds to superiority of the W212 as well. I believe with dial up like knobs as you can find in most MBs , this would not be same effect .

Thanks for your detailed reply , Burmuster is news to me lol Your gauge cluster is also Avantgarde so is 3 spoke steering wheel. AMG package dramatically made some changes in interior minus seats . Well, I believe you have a rare car given that your interior is neither a luxury Elegance model nor Avantgarde
Thanks to AMG choice, you have a black headline wish I could have opted that too

Meanwhile , I have just noticed that your door storage units are also seat color , I presumed you could only have black color

 

Very nice man!

 

Awesome car.. Congrats

 

I like two tone interiors, have something similar to this one:

Nice ride, fully loaded! I got all the options that you have except the multi-contour seats. E550 is a great daily-driver

 

that's what we called dog seats . lucky dogs !

 

What a dog!
