MB-Tex Dashboard and Door Panels - U08 vs U09
I'm a little confused and asking if anyone can answer this definitively. On the GLE43W4 (SUV and coupe also I assume) , I'm seeing U08 as an option listed with no extra charge on a vehicle spec sheet which is described as" Upper Dash in MB-Tex". On another vehicle spec sheet I am seeing a U09 charge option of $450 which is described as "MB-Tex Dashboard and Door Trim". So should I assume that the UO8 is "standard" on the GLE43? Should I infer from this that the "MB-Tex Upper Dash" is part of the U09 option - Dashboard and not door panels, or are these totally different options, where the U09 actually is "MB-Tex Dashboard and Door Trim with stitching" while the U08 is only a portion of the dashboard being in MB-Tex and without stitching? I asked one dealer about this who had no clue, so I'm wondering if anyone here would know and who has either of these options on a vehicle, since it is not described on-line or in the dealer ordering guide.I think the MB-Tex with stitching looks nice - not quite as nice as a leather wrapped dash and door panels with stitching as in some of the other higher end models, but still nice.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well - 1st thing - frankly your attention to detail is admirable - so I infer this is important form you.
U09 is accurately described in the genuine Dealer Order Guide as "MB Tex Lower Dash and Door Trim" - and YES it's worth $450 - and FYI often U09 upgrade is limited in production availability for new build.
I understand you want the Rigt-Rig-For-You - I suggest you pair up with a good MB salesperson to march you thru the build features available - so you get exactly what you want !

Oh... quick thing ... MBTex "wrapping" for dash/door panel is much better in terms of convenience and are than the "Ghibli's" of the world...but then again it's not rocket science... I am sure you can make it thru your list of $200-$600 items A-OK... on Active Curve there are other threads here that take that head on - and you will find 90% of those that actually have it - would do it again - so that's that..
