Which color combo did you order?
Breaking-in - From page 136 of the X5 manual:
Moving parts should be allowed to break in. To ensure that your vehicle provides maximum economy throughout a long service life, we request that
you observe the following instructions:
Engine and differential
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km:
Drive at varying engine speeds and road speeds, but do not exceed
4,500 rpm and the following road speeds during this initial period:
6-cylinder engines: 100 mph/160 km/h
8-cylinder engines: 106 mph/170 km/h
Obey your local and state maximum speed limits.
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the transmission's kick-down mode
during these initial miles.
Once you have driven 1,200 miles/2,000 km, the engine and vehicle
speeds can be gradually increased.
