I looked into this and can see those options in Netstar for my car on March 30th. Clearly, the Semi-Aniline interior was still available even though I had changed my order to 501. The two Semi Aniline interiors were the two choices at the bottom of upholstery section, 965 and 975.
I asked my dealer to look it up today and he confirms that it is no longer in Netstar. I am not sure why that is the case but clearly, for some reason or another, it was in Netstar and now it no longer is. Maybe your dealer can find out what is going on.

What a bummer. I was so excited about this interior but now it's not available.
I even called MBUSA and they also said that this wasn't available. Although the young female I spoke with seemed a bit clueless.

I wouldn't give up hope just yet. Clearly, it was there just a few weeks ago and sometimes there are supply or allocation problems and things can change.
I would ask your dealer to contact his MB regional person and try to get a better understanding of what happened and when it might again be available.
Does anyone have a DOG later than 3/26. That one had these interior options. It would be interesting to see what the latest DOG says, if one does exist.

Your dealer seems much better though, if it's not too much trouble, you think you can ask him to find out what's going on?

My dealer unfortunately is a nut. Doesn't respond to my calls very often. Extremely difficult to get a hold of and doesn't really stay on top of these sort of updates.

I spoke to my dealer and we looked at the new DOG as of 4/8 and it has been eliminated as a new interior option for 2015. It was in there on the 3/26 DOG but not in the new one.
Sorry that wasn't what you wanted to hear.

Here are pictures of the semi-aniline interior that have been previously posted in another thread. The first two are the designo Silk Beige/Satin Red Pearl and the last one is the designo Silk Beige/Titanium Grey Pearl

I tried to get them to do my custom Auburn Brown interior in this fashion but they were not able to do it.
I am however, very happy with what they are doing for me but I must admit, this looks like a very special interior.

I'd ask your dealer about this so you can get a final answer. If he won't find out the answers, I'd find a new dealer.
Also, remember, these things are always subject to change so you have to weigh that when deciding what to do.
Good luck.

Given that it is back in the DOG, I suspect it is also now capable of being ordered in Netstar.

'12 S350 ('15 S550 on order)
Net star is now accepting orders on these interiors. MSRP is $8,600, and it requires Designo piano black trim ($800), exclusive trim ($950), rear seat package ($3,000), executive rear seat package ($3,500), rear entertainment system ($2,650), and premium 1 package ($4,500). I am currently negotiating my order and hope to place it by next week.

I suspect this interior will be very plush and very gorgeous.

[QUOTE=LovinMercedes;6048880]Which interior color are you thinking about and what exterior color. I tried to get my custom interior order done in the semi-aniline but they were not able to do it.
I suspect this interior will be very plush and very gorgeous.
I am leaning towards Anthracite Blue and pearl grey / titanium - will hopefully make the final decision this weekend

My '14 S550 4matic is Obsidian Black. It is like the standard black with metallic flakes in the paint that makes it sparkle in the sunlight. The Mocha Black is a different shade of black compared to the standard black and obsidian black. The Mocha has a slight brown hue to it--kind of like when you add a little milk or cream to your black coffee. Hopefully this helps.
Others may have different thoughts but this is my 2 cents.
