It is not unusual to cruise at the same engine rpm range for hours at a time.
Yes ,I remember specific instructions: no WOT,vary speeds, easy on the clutch ,if it has one,easy on the brakes and tires.My manual is in the car which is under a
cover so I'm not going to check it. The manual is available on line at BMWUSA.com, .http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Owner/dgh.aspx
