c43 AMG
Didn't follow break-in procedure c43
I got a new 2020 c43 AMG less than a month ago with 50km on it. The first thing I did when I brought it home was floor it in comfort mode. Ever since then I've been ripping it on and off till 1250km while driving in Sport+. I just can't help myself but to hear the exhaust sometimes.
I'm aware I wasn't supposed to go over 4500 rpms but I've gone to 6500 in 2nd gear a handful of times now. I didn't even know there was a break-in period until a while after I bought the car as this is my first AMG...
So my question is what are the potential negatives I've done to my new car? The car came with 4 years of warranty so will that cover the issues/failures I may experience because I didn't properly "break-in" the car?
Thanks guys

AMG GLC 63s Coupe
A few different theories on this but I highly doubt you caused any damage. I have beat on every car, I have ever bought, from the get go and I have never had an issue but I never keep cars past a year or two.
I actually took it pretty easy on my GLC63s besides a few early launch controls and strangely enough...I think I am keeping this car for awhile...I just love it....
I think the most damage you can do to a new car is let it idle or run at the same RPMs for an extended time such as using cruise control during the break-in timeframe.
