E55 Flint Grey/Merlot
That ashtray is an affront to most American buyers. Even many smokers won't light up in a car like this. The Germans do so many things right, but the historically extra attention to ashtrays and neglect of cupholders are not one of them.
Duane: Most people detect a hint of Blue in the Flint Grey. I see a touch of Amethyst in the right light.

Merlot or Blue? Decisions, Decisions

Nice car Vitaman. I am going to order an E55 in the next couple of days. It will be white with burl walnut and I am having a hard time deciding on Merlot or Blue. Any photos of blue out there? Any suggestions? How about the wood, think the black would look better than the walnut? One last thing, tell me about the steering wheel. Who did that? It look great.

From what I read in my owner's manual the rubber insert should be inside your glovebox (in a thin pocket on the inside back of the glove box door). However, it was missing on my car. So of course I had to call the MBUSA 800 number, but didn't get any assistance from those shmucks. I went back to the dealer and had my salesman take one out of a car on the show room floor. As if I wasn't already grinning ear to ear just for having an E55. Now it's even got a little rubber thingy instead of an ashtray. woohoo.
