I have a charcoal interior?

I always thought the leather wasn't exactly black, but I figured that's just what they call black on the E class as I haven't spent too much time in other E classes, but I was looking at the window sticker today and it says I have charcoal interior.

Do a lot of people have this or is it rare?

fwiw, the Mulroney sticker from my 2009 E63 says:

851 Black AMG premium leather

Maybe it was called "charcoal" with the E55s.

From what I understand, pre face-lift W211's have Charcoal as the "Black" interior, and face-lifts have pure Black.

Interesting to me too, I always thought mine was a soft black, I like it, classy and works well with the brown wood I have.

I also have Black aka Exclusive Nappa Leather/Black Nappa (X11) on my SL65. It was a pricey $3800 option, which is why you rarely see it. On my SL you actually also get the headliner in black alcantara instead of the grey.

I was told by the MB SA that mine was "Black" as well.

I think my E500 was black black but the E55 is a lighter black (might be the chacoal) The E500 was Obesian Black outside but the leather was very dark black....... maybe other E class is different....

So is your interior Black, Ash, or Grey. It seems that all black photographs as grey, doesn't look good...

Mine is as black as black is.

No different than any other black leather cars (Porsche, BMW, etc..)
