Hi Guys
Just wanted to say a big Hello to everyone seeing it's my first post.
On another note I picked up my new Black C 63 S coupe yesterday and I've been grinning ever since. I was initially tossing up between the R35 GTR and the Merc but test drove the Merc only and ended up putting a deposit down straight away, that V8 sound is very addictive.
Looking forward to passing that 1500klm mark so I can open it up a bit.

Got a good drive in today to Gosford and back, car has 350km on clock now but it's cherry is far from popped. Seeing it not a daily driver, it looks like it will take close to 4 tanks of juice before I reach the run in period, so painful! Question, I was told bye the dealer to keep it in comfort mode only and don't exceeds 4500rpm at any stage before 1500km, is that what everyone was told and did for the run in?

Nice, long drives are the best for running the car in rather than urban start stop trips. I drive my car daily so ran it in within 2/3 weeks. I took trips to Newcastle and Central coast a few times over the weekend which helped. If you're driving it in the city heaps your fuel consumption will be more.

You want to vary the RPMs constantly. Don't keep the RPM's at a constant. So freeway cruising is not recommended for too long.
There are 100 different theories for breaking a motor in, but that ^ part is pretty much universal to all of them.

Guys I've finally found the time in between the bad weather here in Aussie to drive the car enough for it to reach its run in period and I'm pretty impressed. Coming from a history of owning some pretty quick Jap turbo cars and then a SQ5 for family reason this has been my first V8 and I love that sound.
One question - does your car feel like it jumps into first gear in sport mode, sports +, race when slowing down to pull up at traffic lights? Obviously it doesn't do it in comfort mode but I've really noticed a considerable jolt when climbing back down through the gears to pull up?
Much appreciate any feedback, thank you.

Most agree that it's the exact opposite.
