Could be, I only have like 1-2K Km (they are new, I put them on this November). I am using my 18" wheels for my winter tyres though as opposed to the 20" I have for summer ones, so that might dampen any side-effects and I end up not noticing them.

I have 18" for winter as well actually. Will change it to 19" though now.

I took the car to the shop as previously announced. It is NOT the differential, it is the tyres! My winter tyres started to make these really loud noises due to wear somehow. We swapped it to summer tyres and this morning was really cold so I just took it for a quick test ride and the noise is gone despite cold temperatures.
From this experience I must encourage W222 drivers to avoid Bridgestone Blizzak. It took one winter season for the flanks to go flat in the front and - as I know now - it started becoming ridiculously loud. Really bad experience.

That is great news.
What didn't seem to fit with tires is
"The colder it is the more present I hear a wining noise when coasting after a cold start. When I touch the gas pedal it goes away instantly. It is not dependent on the gear I'm in either."

I have a similar noise and think it’s tires as well. Happens on only certain roads, when it’s below freezing. I have brand new F1 summer tires RFT (they suck ***) and I can’t wait to change them out.
This year I put snow tires on my RR and noticed a loud whine and hum as well creating the same noise in almost the same type of conditions. Turned out to be the pirelli snow tires causing the noise.
