Considering 63AMG
Hi all,

My wife & I popped into our local MB dealer yesterday, there was a Cubanite Silver 63 on the floor.
We were really impressed with it, & decided to have a testdrive.
Very impressed with it, especially the comfort of the AMG seats.
One thing we were not happy with was the black plastic dashboard, I have seen a pic on this forum of EX_BEEMER's ML63 which has a Nappa trim dash, my question is how do you specify this option as it is not available to select in the MB options price list.

Yes plastic dashboard on AMG vehicle is !!!! In US&Canada it comes standard! And if its not an option in UK i'd try and order US dashboard with leather and swap it!!! I hate my plastic Dashboard in my ML350!!!

Nappa leather dash trim is standard on the ML63 isn't it? Every single ML63 I've seen so far has it and I don't see it as an option on the window sticker or the website configurator.

20+ to list......
UK is different from us. Another example would be they have 19" wheels as standard while we get 20s.

Swapping the dash for a US/Canadian one might be difficult given the different locations of the steering wheel!
