Aluminium trim

Must the S63 come with wood trim? My M5 has brushed aluminium on the dash and centre console and it looks way better than the also available wood. Can I get something similar on an S63?

I think the wood on the dashboard doesn't fit with the stylish and sporty exterior.

OK, I guess no-one has seen anything but wood inside the S63.

Agree...burl walnut and most woods are non-perf-like for an AMG....but S65 has burl walnut....it is a perf limo, after all....

Aluminum trim often looks cheap/ricer wannabe....isn't it typically painted plastic?

S63 030's blk wood looks good IMO....

But better interior IMO is the carbon fiber interior trim available on CL63 030....perhaps in ex-US, one can spec cf on S63?

The Black Lacquer trim in my S63 is very nice with the black leather. When I get into my friends 63 his has the wood look and it seems cheap (kinda like an escalade). That is only my opinion.

Hey we can custom make a brushed aluminum interior for an S-class, but no it does not come from MBZ that way.

I'd love to see a pic or two of your interior if not too much trouble. Or a link to a similar car.

Does anyone have a pic of the black laquer wood trim, ideally with black leather?
