Designo...how does it work?
Tried to change the interior color of my grey selenite E63 wagon yesterday from black to the nut brown and was told that it would push the order back 3 months due to a shortage of material. I'm not inclined to wait. Can someone tell me how designo interior colors/fabric orders work, including approximate time involved and up-charge in cost?

I don't have a good sense of the pricing but my impression is that Mercedes charges way more than BMW or Porsche for custom interiors.
Custom paint typically adds 4-8 weeks.

Ugghhh... just put in an order for nut brown - wonder what the impact will be.

If they have only 3 leather choices they shouldn't be running out of leather for one of the colors. The only companies that offer only 2 leather options are ones like Toyota and Honda.
BMW offers 6 orderable leather color choices on the 2019 M5. That's not counting the additional 12 you can get from doing an Individual Manufaktur custom order through M Studio.
