CLS dash vs E55
I spent some time at the dealer and noticed for the first time that all CLS's (not just the 55's ) dash boards are nicely covered in leather. So why not the E's let alone the E55's?

Yes, the dash top is stitched in leather and looks much nicer than the all plastic on the E and E55. I'm surprised and would think that if a base CLS500 has a leather covered dash, at least the E55's should.

Sinds 2004 you can order you're E55 from MB like you wish (in Europe) . It's named; 'Designo'. When I bought my E 55, it was not possible, so I did it aftermarket (Brabus). Because the plastic on the dash bothered me every day more and more!

I chose for suede on the dash!

some slow@$$diesels
all CLSes come with a leather covered dash...even the "cheap" diesels
The E-class is available (in the Rest Of World) with a designo package (just some nappa leather in several different colors) AND with an extended designo package (leather and alcantara covered dash, console and doorpanels).
E55s in the US should not come with too much standard extras from factory as those are sold way too cheap as it is already.
