I'm out and about but I think two packages had required selections that I could automatically add the required normally by hitting change selection. One or two earlier noted the requirement but I had to make the selection. Going from memory.

trim
Well, I went with my husband to test drive a 450 today that someone gave permission to drive, not a demo. The natural walnut trim looked a lot better on this one, but it could be that it looked better with the macchiato in leather, whereas the car I saw yesterday was in the brown mb tex. This order came in a week ago; I was surprised someone got theirs so early.

The 450 I test drove was Polar White with a Macchiato MB-Tex interior but with a dark trim (not Walnut). It's a very nice looking interior color. Our GLE 450 was ordered with Espresso Brown Leather, my wife's choice. If I don't like it, I'll order another and just have to wait. Hope I like it.

There could be cars being delivered that were preconfigured for dealer inventory??? There should be the Demo block, then the preconfigured ones, followed by custom orders and dealer orders if it’s the way I understood it. Maybe it’s because there is so much insight about this release but to me the whole process seems pretty unorganized from what I expected.

It is possible they preconfigured it with her in mind, and it went in as demo. I don't know how that works. But, demos didn't much seem to be at any dealership with leather.

The demo they had was basic, with mb tex, but with the technology to see. At every dealer I've checked online around the country, it seems they all cost 68,100.00, and have mb tex.

Beth is it possible that your friend bought a preconfigured vehicle rather than a special order? It just seems odd that one persons order arrived a month or so ahead of all the others.
Edit- Sorry I see you answered while I was typing.

Just texted a dealer in Reading and they got two preconfigured GLE 350's yesterday that are both for sale (not demo's) so some are indeed being shipped to some dealerships.

It probably was preconfigured, I almost asked to be in line for one of theirs back in november when we first talked about it, but really wanted it to be just right. And seriously, I have totally changed my mind since being on here, going and looking at the demo yesterday, and peeking at the other one today.
On another note, Mercedesbenzofeaston has a selenite gray with amg exterior and the metal weave trim. Just beautiful.

As for the cost of the Premium + Burmester, the window sticker above still has them at $1,000 and $850 respectively.

Let us know Joe. My order is the same interior. My truck is similar and looks good. Normally I like complimentary vs contrasting colors in darker shades. Black is always nice but after a lot of black want something different.

I hope to get over there tomorrow but we have snow heading our way overnight so it may be Monday if not tomorrow. Also, I would expect real leather to look a little better than MB-Tex so if this looks good, the leather seats coming in our GLE should be fine.

By the way, the BMW dealer called me yesterday to follow up (very nice guy) and said he sold that X5. I hope the new owner tested it and knows what he bought.

I like that espresso interior (from earlier pic); too bad they don't do an espresso headliner to match. I know some would think that it would be too dark, but I like the "cavey" feel. Hence, my black interior with black headliner.
My dealer just said he got confirmed that the gloss grey linden H18 does have piano black console. I know some like the piano black, but I'd like all my interior trim to match. Glad I switched to the walnut. Wondering if I should have gone with the natural grey oak, tho.........If walnut would be too contrast-y with the solid black interior.
