There are seperate break in periods for the brakes to seat and to break in the engine and it is in the manual or on line manual. I have 700 miles on mine and it next to impossible to be as good a boy as they want me to.
Avaoid the cruise control I was told to vary the RPMs and speed. |

The manual (online, as I don't have it yet) says under 100mph for the first 1200 miles, and below 4500rpm... it also says to vary the speeds.
I for one wonder if it would be better to do a road trip with it and vary the speed (i.e. 55mph, 65mph, 75, etc..) or would it be better to do a bunch of city driving.. I'm trying to do this right as my plan is to keep this think until it's a piece of Junk a teen ager will want to buy in 2017.. |

ok, so the expert consensus is stop and go, city traffic, below 4500rpm for the 1st 1200 miles..
I'll add to that (and I did this on my MB).. change engine oil. The break in (by definition) will yield a lot of metal fragmentation in the oil.. I will pay the lousy $80 for new oil/filter for peace of mind. Then I will 1/2 the BMW recommended intervals for ALL fluids. |
