So does the E550 have any MB Tex? Or real leather?Originally Posted by SLpat
You won't need to worry about that with the E550. It comes with leather seating surfaces. A lot of people like the MB Tex and a significant percentage of the E350's have MB Tex. I am partial to leather.

I would buy the MB extended warranty for as long as you can. It will be indespensible. Lots of things can and will break on these cars and if you can have MB pay for them then no worries. My extended warranty on a '10 E350 has paid for itself in just 8 months of having it.
