Anyone else have this Avatar?

I picked up my new e53 this week. I'm enjoying it but there are a few odd quirks. The first is that the MBUX shows a yellow AMG GT as my avatar. In addition to showing my photo and my vehicle (though in the wrong color and with the wrong wheels).

The salesman told me this was marketing for the new GT and that they can't change it. Which is just weird. I would appreciate feedback on what others experience. Thanks,

Sorry for the picture quality,

Yup, they are advertising their amg gt ev. Which will be replaced with something else when the next graphical goodies arrive.

You might be able to turn off the graphical goodies in settings to see if that disappears but you also get non of the seasonal ones moving on forward, the best option is to keep it on or just turn it off for a few weeks or months and then turn it back on when you want to see the seasonal ones.

Thanks. I had searched in the forum for "avatar" as I thought it was an rendering/association issue. I have turned off graphical goodies and the silly yellow car is gone. I dislike marketing people.

You're welcome.
If you want easter eggs like halloween, and others you might want to turn it back on later on.
