Edition 10 vs. STD interior, Leather door panel inserts?

I noticed on the edition 10 pics, it has a Black interior with Java leather and leather door panel inserts. The normal MLs I have sat in have that cheap plastic door panel, do all the 08s now have that insert? Or is it just the edition 10?

Based on what I know, if you get any ML with leather, you get the leather panel inserts. The one you sat is probably one with MB text which is what like 75% (dont quote me on that) of all ML's have.

I have not seen a 2008 ML, but I know the 2007 and 2006 even with full leather did not have the leather insert on the door panel.

The GL has an MB-tex insert on MB-tex cars and a leather insert with stitching down the middle on a Leather GL.

The Edition 10 ML pictures has the leather with stitching down the middle insert on the door panels.

I think it's an Edition 10 thing.

That's a nicely equipped ML! Maybe it was a cancelled order.

agreed, definitely is a nice touch for the otherwise cheap/bland door rubber material

Here is the link from the other forum with pictures of those leather inserts:

I think they're nice.

Factory door inserts

The inserts from performance products look 'acceptable' to me, but I always strive to get the 100% factory look.

The leather looks to be a different texture and colour.

I would prefer to see if the OEM door trims from the ML63 are available.

These would have the 'factory look' and they are napa leather, and the colour should be perfect as well.

Does anyone know part numbers or prices for the ML63 door trims?

Has anyone seen a 08 550 with leather to see if the inserts are different?
