Post break-in maintenance ?

Hi,

I have just finished the break-in period on my 2020 C63s coupé, and booked an appointment for tomorrow morning. Over the phone, the attendant immediately answered "Oh, you're coming for the oil diff change, no worries".
The dealership called me back this afternoon to tell me that there was no need for me to come, as nothing is supposed to be done after the 1500km period : no oil change (that is 50.000km), no oil diff change, nothing.

I'm quite surprised that nothing needs to be inspected / changed, and I kept the appointment anyway (there are couple details I need to discuss with them anyway). Does this make sens to you ? Shall I ask for oil changes anyway ?

I would say it depends on if you got the prepaid maintenance or not. If you did, then you should insist they do whatever you've seen/read on these forums. If not, then its up to you and how you value that extra peace of mind.

I've been following this thread as well, my question goes beyond il diff change : is there anything that has to be checked / changed after the initial 1000 miles / 1500km break-in ?

ah, well something I learned, as was pointed out in the other thread, was that to check when your car was built and make sure you're getting your oil changed in the 1 year mark from build date, not purchase date. But I don't think you need to do anything extra special on top of the regular maintenance required for the car.
