1000 miles! visiting dealership today

So for the first time ever, i turned the knob from C to S and

happened.
a-m-a-z-i-n-g, but i know i'm preaching to the choir. in all seriousness and a more unfortunate note, im going in for a few rattles that have developed (2013 sedan):

1) Drivers side of the dash has a consistent rattle going over bumps, rough roads. Goes away by applying downard pressure over top/left side of gauge cluster "hump".

2) Console area where silver buttons and A/C knobs are has a squeakier sounding rattle. Goes away by applying pressure against plastic where the "Airbag on/off" indicator lights up.

Ive read through countless benzworld and mbworld common problems / rattles / squeaks threads but couldnt find closure to the issues mentioned. Has anyone experienced the similar and reached a resolution?

Lastly, is it time for a post break-in oil change or should I wait until 2k for the LSD?

my wife bananas! :D

as you already know, rattles are very common.. tell your SA and get them to look into it. most of the time they will be able to fix it.

and if you like S.... try S+

Idk how you made it 1,000 miles, I don't think I made it 1 lol but then I'm not a fan of easy break in - was over 150mph before it hit 100 miles

Sorry about the rattles

As for first oil change, I waited for my LSD service which was unfortunately late due to dealer issues at 2250 miles. People think I'm nuts with oil changes but new motors shed metal, especially when driven hard to bed components in, so I like to do extra oil changes early on and for $99 a pop it's cheap insurance.
