Designo Blue Interior

Good evening, I've recently purchased a 2000 E55 and I'm very excited to take delivery of it on the 20th! One thing that attracted me to the car over others was the interior that is a two tone, Designo black/blue. I've done some looking around and can find very little information on the interior color option of this car, the interior code on the trim tag is 521 which doesn't come up on the multiple MB option code websites. Does anyone else have more information on this interior option? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I've seen a broader AMG interior color palette these years. Molniya Blueberry leather on black through blue glass.

Very striking and unique.
Black and blue work well together.

I agree, this option was available on the pre-facelift. I’m almost positive it was not an option after ‘99.

Got home Saturday and cleaned her up! Couldn’t be more happy with the car. Here are a few pictures of the interior. The interior option code is 521 and on the option list for the car it is listed as Blueberry, very interesting!
