Did some interior art...what do you guys think?

I painted all the trim flat titanium and painted my steering wheel also which was very deteriorated and it came out like NEW!





The steering wheel is what impressed me the most. I used some vinyl paint and was actually willing to send my wheel to get redone in leather but I decided to give this a shot and it looks absolutely spectacular. I just hope it lasts. Push comes to shove I'll just redo the thing.

Its very clean, I like it. Aren't the sport interior trim pieces for the regular E's a silverish color like yours?

I don't think I've ever seen an E without wood interiors. I could be wrong though.


Thanks for the comments guys! It took me a whole 8 hours to do...the freaking CD changer was a nightmare because I've never done it this before and I had no instructions so I had to guess how to open it up and remove the wood part without breaking anything.

The door trims are also hard to mess with, it pretty much sucked to be honest...lol.

How do you guys feel about this interior, I've never to this day seen an E63 in real life with that color. Personally I love the cream/biege color, it always looks so premium and uplifting. This particular one I would change the tone a bit however I think it looks good. The black cluster really helps the color come out too.

The CLS looks particularly good with this interior. By the way I don't mean to hijack your thread GT-ER, I just thought it's appropriate since the topic is interiors

I think it looks pretty damn good like that. Great job. Any issues removing the trim pieces?

For me the beige/sand/cream color and the classic wood is very premium, something you would see in a wealthy person's home. Maybe a little old fashioned, not in a bad way though. Black is sort of the base color, you can't go wrong with it and it works in every car. It's also sportier however for me for some reason a beige/sand/cream interior always lifts my mood and because it's used in high end luxury cars it sort of reminds you of the car's status being a luxury sedan and all.

For me, these interiors are just alot of that is due to the color, they would look good in black too but I think sand/beige/cream and black are as good as each other, well that's my opinion anyway.

what vinyl paint did you use and did you do it with steering wheel in place or removed? I was thinking about painting my steering wheel as its kinda showing some age to it

The titanium/silver looks great! I would be all over this if I ended up with an E55 with light wood. Luckily I found the black wood in the car I wanted.

Looks awesome!



The wood in my E55 is painted body color (Tektite Grey), and has nice contrast against the black leather.

Looks like E500 sport version. Not my taste. I like better with classic look then sporty look. I like much better the E63 wood trim classic look better. IMO

Im thinking of maybe giving this a try on some peices, and might end up doing my trim in the cf pattern they have.
