what is your prefered seat color choices? Two tone seats

I have ordered my Black 04' E55. I am having a hard time deciding what color combo to do in the inside. I ordered the Charcoal interior but I know that I can choose between the...

Merlot
Blue
Charcoal

What are your opinions?

For black exterior, charcoal/merlot would be a killer combo IMHO.

I'd love a grey option like they used to. But I'm going with charcoal, the red and blue are to tame for me.

well that settled it. That was not the unanimous decision I thought I would get here. It is what it is. From one day to the next I am changing my mind.

I am thinking the Black on black would look sweet as is. But the 2 tone would make it sportier. I hope that the 2 tone novelty wouldn't run out after 6 months. Then I might want the charcoal.

Are there pics of both the merlot and blue with Charcoal?

Charcoal / Blue - search for RedBaron pics or Dr.Chill .. But I strongly suggest for black, the merlot. There are pics that have been posted earlier this year or late last year of a Black W211 E55 with Merlot interior from hong kong - do a search also and you'll find the pics. I have them on my other computer at work I believe.

Thanks muhri. I searched for "merlot" and found a ton of stuff.

The pics of the black on black from Asia were my favorite. I am not sure about the clor two tone options. Then again this is my first exposure to AMG products and have yet to have the experience that some might have. These 2 tone options look like they are the "signature" of the Europian sports car "AMG".

Blue/Charcoal combination looks very good, or you can keep it simple and make it charcoal only.

Combination of two colors looks so much better IMO.
