ARTICO leather dashboard on EU 350
Hello Guys, I've just purchased my new ML350 BlueTec Premium (AMG looks) 2013 with delivery expected for October Diamond White with Tobacco Brown Leather but, when I've talked about the leather dashboard at first they didn't know what I was talking about, afterwords I've been told that it's only part of "Designo" package which I don't like for the 5K euro they ask for. 
Anybody knows whether for European ML this is true or not? Should I insist more? Any code that I could mention to convince them?
Thanks a lot in advance

In UK, this is what is listed as an option
Dashboard – upper and lower sections, beltline and door panels in Artico artificial leather with top-stitching. This is code U09 and cost is £945 inc tax.

It is available in Europe and indeed the correct code U09 and is available (Euro 900 ex VAT or local taxes). Perhaps the confusion is that the stand alone option (U09) is the ARTICP (artificial leather) version. There is an option for real leather, but that is only available as part of the designo package (X06-Maron/X11-Black/X27-Porcelain).
