S-Class W223 [Official] Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223)

I love the combination of colors, the Manufaktur Vintage Blue with the Mocca brown Manufaktur leather, the high velour brown leather Keder floor mats with Mercedes star stitching.

Thanks for pics; wonderful choices for the interior, too. Congrats again on your inside-out stunner!

The car was bought recently and I cruised some fair km with the car

You must drive quite a lot of miles. According to the doorsticker the car already had it’s second inspection (B). That’s normally after circa 50,000 km.

Never mind Wish you many more safe and enjoyable miles.

This would be my choice… brilliant!!! The only change I would make is get light and dark blue leather inside but I feel that MB does not offer that even a s a customizable option

Manufaktur gets pretty close to that with their blue interior:

China blue looks great with the Yacht blue interior. You can see it here on a G63:

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Congratulations @shakti. Beautiful combination.

Can't wait for the rumored roll out of 'Manufactur' across more markets, including ours.

As I like the Manufaktur offerings, I am always keen to find something new in the Configurator.
to my suprise the German configurator only showed the Manufaktur paints today
but not any longer the interior parts.
may be too many Maybach to be built currently in the Manufaktur building.

or they are refreshing the offering to something new and we can enjoy it in the next days.

I was told that Mercedes is gearing up to offer 'Manufactur' across many more markets than they do currently. It will first be introduced to markets where AMG has a high sales turnover.

what is normal on such a non standard car?
sure, this one has a history ( and much less miles)
but not to be shared in a public forum

and thanx for your wishes .

Manufaktur with AMG is actually a great idea, cause I do not at all like the default glossy carbon interior that seems to be a default on proper AMG trims.

I do not believe, that Manufaktur will become available for AMG cars.
to my understanding, they are different in-house profit centers.
AMG to enhance the brand into the sporty and lifestyle segment.
Manufaktur to enhance the product offering to the more classy and luxury segment plus getting a feed into the lifestyle, fashion and trendy world of the younger rich.

Comparing the available color schemes from Rolls Royce, like mint green and more
( Rolls Royce just announced, that the average age of their customers is only 43)
Mercedes has to offer more popular fresh colors, which seems to be adressed now from the Manufaktur color portfolio.

AMG in comparison is adressing another competition,
the Marketing world of highperformance fuel cars is getting tougher.

( just my point of view and understanding)

I just checked and you can indeed get Manufaktur on AMG cars. Just not all of them.
From the German site, its available on the G63, S63, GLE63, SL63e and GT63e. But they really should be available on all AMGs. They are all far north of 100,000 and you deserve to be able to outfit a bespoke cabin for cars that expensive.

Thank you for the research!
As I am not too much in the AMG world, I had not checked the actual option list.

What does this cost in the US?!? Another 20K?

They charge $14k for the interior upgrade, pretty expensive, but for the price you get uniqueness.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

I still think about the pre-FL W222 with the Deep Sea(?) Blue leather with the Sunburst wood....

The mileage is shown on the doorsticker as well. Reads like 36.269.

It looks glorious.....

if you can read the door sticker, why you have asked the first time for registration date and mileage?
Your personal way to welcome new members to the Forum?
anyhow, we do not need to follow this conversation up further....

Because you didn’t spec anything; not the steering wheel and not the conscious choice for the absence of HUD. You probably bought a used, second hand car. Nothing wrong with that, but you pretend otherwise.
Indeed, no need to discuss this any further.
