Help with interior color choice

I'll be leasing a 08 ML350 in the coming months in exterior color Black.

However, I can’t make up my mind on the interior. I will be going with MB-Tex, and I have narrowed it down to Black or Macadamia.

Right now I have a black on black C class, and I like the overall look, but it does show the dirt (especially with kids). Also, get’s a little claustrophobic sometimes.

I like the idea of Macadamia, but wonder if it would be too “bright” and I might grow tired of it pretty quickly. Or, how would it look once it starts to get some use, does it end up having a dirty look?

Any comments from owners with these combos would be appreciated.

To Mercedes-Benz---how about offering a brown MB-Tex option?

I wanted black/black but the Edition 10 only came in Macadamia/black interior, but mostly macadamia, check out the pics of the interior in this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/m-class-w164/214862-just-bought-2008-ml350-edition-10-a.html

I'm glad I went (actually had no choice but to go) with the lighter interior, IMO looks nicer and classier then the black/black I wanted.

Looks awesome, I really like that combo better than the standard Macadamia/Beige for the dash. You got the best of both!

Good luck with your new ML Edition 10!

Why not go for an Edition 10, I can't think it'd be significantly more (but what do I know)...how much is the MSRP on your current spec'd car?

I'd love to get the ML-10, but my current lease on my C runs into 2008, so I doubt there will be any still available by then, but you never know.

you could always see if they'd be willing to take back the C early in return for leasing the ML
