Hi,

Just got my new company car it's a C250 cdi coupe:

Got an amazing deal on the lease as she was in stock: Magnetite black with flamenco red interior.... I am completely in love! Was told by our lease company to drive it how I wanted from the off I.e. hard and fast. Got it with 350 miles on the clock on Friday and have hammered it all weekend, kick down, red line etc showing my mates what she can do... Gutted to then read in the manual that it needed running in for 1500km. I hope I haven't damaged her....

Welcome to the forum.

It's a company car. Who cares?

The Joe Public buyer who ends up with it.

I'm sure it will be fine (hopefully).

Thanks for the welcome. Backed right off as soon as I read in the manual... been running it gently since mix of revs up to 3.5k rpm. These are the options on it:

Harmon kardon
Privacy glass
Reversing camera
Command
7 g tronic
Memory pack
Heated seats
Leather (flamenco red)
Metallic (magnetite black)

Best car I've had..... So far.

Lots of lovely spec. No harm done "settling it in" with the odd bit of storming.

Great car, welcome and don't spare the horses .

Let's think what happens to all those white vans when new. They get thrashed mercilessly then go on to do a further 600,000 miles...

Cars are certainly not babied in their first few miles off the production line. Just enjoy it! Oh, and welcome.
