C63S gets a bit more compliant through break-in period?
Is this a case of me imagining things or does the C63S get a bit more compliant through the break in period improving the ride quality? I am at 1762 miles and I feel like the car is less of a skate board now on rough pavement. It has improved some. I do have the tires set lower at 38/33 psi. But I have had these settinging since a few days after pickup and do finally feel liker it is riding much better. Could be anything, am just wondering.

I guess the same happened to me. after the first 1000 km, I noticed a difference in the gear shifts.
that's why its called a break in period.

Yup feels like the car loosened up a bit too. Makes it feel like it released afew more horses. It also generally feels smoother and more willing to indulge. I really was wondering if I wasn's imagining it, but over all very nice. This car is terrefic IMO. Its a keeper.

'15 C63S
I think it's just that you are getting used to the car's ride.
After I initially bought my car, it felt incredibly stiff compared to my wife's X5. I got used to the ride in my C63S, and now whenever I drive the X5 it feels significantly softer than it did before. We recently went on a road trip in the X5, I got used to it, and the first time I drove my C63S it felt stiff again just like the day I bought it. Tire pressures and suspension settings never changed.

Depends on what you are considering as rattle. It will crash and bang as in road noise. It should not rattle though. But I also have a Range Rover and when I drive it and go back to the car, I don't feel like any of them changed from how it usually feels.
