haha. right?!?! i actually really like the image. BUT i often wondered how the car companies in their various (for example, christmas holiday promos) adverts showed their pristine autos unadulterated from all the road salt and other debris kicked up from the gritter trucks/loreys from showing up on the paint in such inhospitable environs and instead looking like they just 'got delivered' from the dealer in the middle of summer. nice. now i know - AI! but what happened to the mercedes' hood star (IT'S GONE MISSING, MATE!) and what's up with the various errant doo-dads on the bonnet/hood? fun nevertheless. loved seeing it. well done. thanks!

Seems like dealerships had been doing that on the listings pages as well.
I asked ChatGPT to take the photo I took of my car in the parking lot of my favorite restaurant here in Atlanta and place my car outside a snowy cabin. Here is what it rendered. Until AI rises up and kills us all, the technology is pretty amazing. It even created the reflection of the trees in the windshield and hood and removed the reflection of the parking lot lines from the original picture.
My fear of us becoming "Wall.E" seems to be justified. On the other hand, great looking car though.
Thanks! It is hot here in Atlanta with daily temps in the mid-90s, so a snowy theme seemed appropriate. I didn't notice the deleted Mercedes Star until a colleague at work pointed it out. Also, AI changed my wheels to what appears to be 20" ones. Given the challenges I've had with 21s on my other car, and the many others in this forum, perhaps AI was making common-sense modifications to the original picture. Also, AI folded out the driver's mirror, but not the passenger's. It also blacked out the chrome in the AMG line inserts in the front facia. Still, I think it did a pretty amazing job with the render.
@Mem30306 Mark,
Are you keeping the stock 21" tires that came with the car, or are you getting the MP4S like you did on your '22? ( or was it a '21?)
Did you consider getting an upsized 21" tires (255/40/21 & 285/35/21) like the S63 AMG ones?
I had 21s on my 22 and have 21s on my 23 - so I'm keeping them. I like the way they look even though I've had to replace too many tires due to blowouts due to potholes.

The olive is a lovely color. So are many other greens, blues, grays, etc. But, for my daily driver, I’ll take the silver. Probably “THE” easiest color to stay looking clean for the longest time when driven daily.
I really like the olive much more than the silver. I agree with others the silver may look cleaner longer, however on a big car like this I think the olive stands out nicely.
I love silver cars but for some reason I have never loved the W223 in silver. Don’t know why.
When I bought mine last October I could have had either Cirrus Silver or Mojave Silver. I found the Mojave to be much more attractive and drove it home.
