What is your opinion on this interior setup on the W211?

Do you think the Alcantara covered dashboard is a bit much?

It is ok...I think it would be more appealing to people with the harder leather. Your 600 (my 65) comes with the softer Nappa leather...it would be kind of a shame to get rid of the soft luxurious leather for a synthetic material. Don't get me wrong...it looks/feels good...just not worth the additional expense in my mind.

I understand that. Most 03 E55s didnt come with NAV. However, this is a $350,000 EV12 we are talking about Not an E55. That is just very funny to me.

That is very nice! I too looked in to upholstering my dash . . . big job! I do also like the detail in the Carlsson Aigner CK65 RS. http://www.dupontregistry.com/autos/...px?mmysid=3046

I don't like it on the dash but the rest of the interior looks fantastic.
