New Benz owner

Just bought a well cared for 2012 C250 Luxury, and I love it. Aside from learning as much as I can on how to continue to care for it; I had some questions about the car that come with new ownership, all the new sound hebejebes lol

I guess I should mention; I have a history with BMW dating back to my first an 83 533i 5 speed to the last one I owned a 97 m3. My dad was a Benz guy, while I was a BMW kid. After some conversation with a friend who worked for a BMW repair facility as a tech. He told me to stay away from mid 2000s BMW's, so I went this way, and feel so far it was a great decision!

I had no intention of modding unless it extends life, not shorten it. Its comfortable, great stereo, this is the daily/date/chill car. I have an 04 ducati 999 I use for speed.
