The ad claims Designo Graphite, but after looking at DRCrowder's pics here, it doesn't look the same at all and neither does the wood. Is it just being washed out by flourescent lights that bad? Is the dealer listing the wrong info?

There is no way you could wash Designo Graphite out to that...I know that color, just can't remember the name...That wood looks very normal...I think you are correct...IIRC it was just graphite and espresso (Mocha Black paint) options...It's Granite Gray I think...

I think you're right. There's a member here with a 320 in granite gray metallic and it looks just like that.

Here's a CLS in granite gray:

Paint code is 747U - Perlite Gray Metallic.

Are you sure? Perlite isn't an E55 color according to Yahoo Autos?

Looks to a clean out of state car (no front tag) with good options. Brakes and wheels look to be in good shape from the pics with not much wear showing on the discs themselves.

Info is right from the datacard for the car.

Interesting. Thanks.

it ain't designo graphite.
This is.....sorry for the small pix.




I don't think you could get a graphite designo edition in 05...but I may be wrong. And yes, the Data plate or the MVI would give you the exact code.

Seems a little steep for a non-designo. I worry more about the electronics over time, not miles...

Platinum Blue or Flint Grey? I also looked at the car, believe it's correctly listed on the MBUSA.com CPO site. Good looking and pretty damn clean too!
