Ordering Decision - Metal Weave Trim real life picture?

Hi All,
Assuming MB comes through and makes up for the boondoggle of a GLC launch and gets me as an E63S Wagon customer, I am debating interior trims...

Nut brown with metal weave is my first choice (Night Pack/Black Wheels/Piedmont Green exterior)

Does anyone have pictures of the Metal Weave trim in real life? (not the trapeze cut aluminum)

All the pictures online are either doctored or poor resolution.

This is not my car but this might help in the meantime before someone with the metal weave trim posts their pics:

I posted a fairly hi-res picture of the metal weave trim here -> : https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post7317942
I didn't get very many responses when I asked for folks opinions on this interior. Maybe you will have better luck here.

Metal weave looks nice (as an alternate to Carbon Fiber).

I did come across that picture. I like the look, just want to make sure it isnt too 2 dimensional (a la trapeze cut aluminum). Want some depth to the trim, and CF seems a bit too dark with brown interior.

Hard to come by natural light pics that arent taken with a potato.

It’s better than the aluminium option. I went with it when I placed my original order, but when the new MY came around, and the centre console was offered with open pore black ash, I went to that instead.

It certainly looks better with the piano black centre console than the aluminium does. The contrast is quite nice. However, I may be a badge judge, as I think the carbon fibre option gives you way too much carbon fibre, but everyone else seems to love it!

The Metal weave looks quite nice on the dash and doors. Not flat with a lot of structure. It would be a nice alternative to the Carbon Fibre IMO if it wouldn't have the black center console. That looks nice when new but seeing it scratched in the typical E-Class loaner it's just looks like cheap plastic. With a metal weave center console it would look fantastic.
We were about to pull the trigger on a white E63s with that interior when the ED1 came along. For the dash it's nicer than wood. Personal preference of course

I think it looks rubbish. It looks like a low quality fake carbon fiber.

Here some close ups of my cheap fake carbon fiber trim (according to some). I just wanted something modern, high quality and different from veneer. Very happy with my selection. The finish is smooth and flat but has some depth to it.

I like it, does it have a metallic sheen/ reflectivity in the sun? How is your piano black center console holding up?

I have heard much abut the piano black center console. Very pleased that the 2018 E43 used the carbon fiber in the console as well. Didn't even have to worry about after-market.

It has a glossy finish but I won't go as far as a metallic sheen. Too early to know how the center console will hold up but it will show finger smudges

If you select the metal weave trim, does the center console stay piano black? If so, any pictures of that? I know it changes to CF if you select CF. Just curious about the other selections. The flowing lines is intriguing.

You can see the metal weave trim together with the piano black console in this picture that I posted in another thread.

I can tell you what it isn't--it isn't nut brown.
