Actually, seeing the 21" RWA wheels in post #849 at an angle they look pretty darn good! Pretty aggressive.
They do look pretty good and I actually wanted those wheel for our MY17 GLS but they were only available in European markets. You're right about the cost of replacement tires, the 20" would be cheaper to replace compared to the 21" wheels but as they say, if you have ask (how much), you probably can't afford it. I'm going to get a fairly loaded GLE so I won't be skimping on the wheels. ;-)
The "Konfigurator" on the German website is really great. You can make all your color, wheel, upholstery & trim selections and get multiple views including 360-degree spin view. Almost everything is an extra there and it adds up quickly. I expect the US one to be up soon.
We had ordered the E450 I just got and a C300 Cabriolet. When I was trying to decide between the GLE 350 and E class, he drove the E and fell in love, so he decided he wanted the E sedan over the C300 Cab and that was that. He got what he wanted and I wound up with the E400 at the same time. We've had coupes before and just find them limiting in terms of flexibility, so we wound up with two E sedans instead.
I believe The Magmagrey is the color of the dash and door panels. The pictures you posted are different than the espresso brown that I posted. I got the names of the seating from the German sight.

No, the description is right on the Daimler website. What I was saying is the two-tone photos are wrong on both the German site and in the US DOG. They'll catch it at some point (that's why the DOG is "preliminary 1st draft" - there are always mistakes).
It could be wrong on the German site and in the US DOG but that is the name of the leather seating color I posted above. Here it is from the US DOG, this looks completely different from the pic you posted above which looks like cloth seating.

You'll notice the pic in the DOG of 204A Espresso Brown/Magmagrey Textured Leather is the same as the one for 114A Espresso Brown MB-Tex. Here is a close up of the Daimler photo which clearly shows the 2 colors and the "textured" (perforated) leather:
Maybe the pic is you found is the problem and that combo will not be offered in the US. The chart below (from the DOG) does not indicate two-tone seats for either code.

Perhaps your right, but not terribly clear. Black/White Nappa Leather clearly has a two-tone seat. Espresso Brown/Magmagrey should be the same. If you look at the photo of Black/Tartufo it shows 2-tone, but the chart you refer to shows the seat as "tartufo." I think the term "up[holstery" is the whole seat and "seat" is the insert you sit on.
And the fact that the photo identification on the Daimler Media website clearly calls the one I posted that means one of the sources is wrong. I'm visiting my dealer tomorrow and will see if they can get clarific

Either way, I just wanted to share what the brown seating option looked like for others. Looks good with the natural walnut wood.

That would be my first choice Joe...would look good with either the white or red, my two choices
I think that the AMG 53 also makes a case for resale? Spending in the 80’s 450 vs 90’s for the AMG seems to make more sense to me, ha ha. The combo gas electric is also intriguing. I will probably wait if it’s only a few months. What’s a few months when you will own the car for several years.

To my eyes that two tone seat is ugly with the grey. I like the solid brown one better. Just got home from a 650 mile trip and this thread is lots more interesting than the election coverage.
If it turns out they're two-tone leather (as shown in the pic Greg found above), I wouldn't select that combo. I agree with Ron, ugly. I hope they're solid Express Brown. Greg will find out more at his dealer tomorrow.

Maybe my tastes are not the norm? I am a architect so do have some design background. I’ve always liked the gray/brown combo. Would really like Saddle Tan!
