An MB problem. Someone has dyed or painted these seats to hide wear And it looks like a poor job.
if you want it right, you'll need to replace the covers on both sides. This painting/dying method is frequently used to improve the looks of torn/worn material. It's not like the old days where tex was super durable and can be repaired. Those days, thanks to cost cutting, are gone. Sorry.

your pics almost look like the seat was torn or cut and repaired, possibly at port. Have you ask MB or your dealer to repair it under warranty?

Same issue here
Same problem, model, year, color. Told by dealer a known issue but no out of warranty coverage. Upholstery shop estimate is $420 to remove/reinstall seat cover and sew in two new panels.

AFAIK The E class the dashboard is MB TEX even if the rest of the interior is leather. My '18 E300 interior gets about 6 hours of direct sun exposure daily. When outside with the windows down and sunroof open so that the heat doesn't build up. There are no issues with the dash drying/cracking. I only use Meguire's products on my car.
