Good Evening all:
This is my first posting. I am first in line at my local (Canadian ) dealership for a 2004 e55. I am considering Pewter/Charcoal, Merlot combination.I have viewed the small pictures on the German configurator page, but would really appreciate it if anyone has a picture of a c32 or other mb with this interior combo. Thanks.

Check out the picture thread from the C32 forum. The seats are alike but not exactly the same.

Here's an image from a magazine of an E55 with the Charcoal/Merlot combo. I like the two-tones as it separates the E55 from your run of the mill E-class. Blue or Merlot would depend on the exterior choice, but I think the Merlot looks great with Pewter or Brilliant Silver.

Cars come in many colors because tastes vary widely, but for a lux-sport-sedan I think the two toned seats (in the two colors available) look rather cheesy.
No offense to anyone who likes them.
But an E-class is a pretty conservative vehicle in almost every respect, and throwing the splash of color in the interior makes it look more like a Mini Cooper or something.
Just my opinion.

Thanks for the responses. Both mikE55 and amg55 make excellent points. (Talk about a politically correct non-answer!).
I have been driving an e320 for the last number of years and am tired of silver/light grey. Time for a change...
