Hopefully I get may car next week, seeing as it docks tomorrow.
That said, will I comply with break-in guidelines?
Absolutely not. 1,200miles! thats insane. Does bmw not break-in the engine before it goes in the car? test it? i understand if this was a brand new short block, but I am sure BMW does stress tests on each and every engine.
I strongly follow brake bedding (heating) and tire break-in (new tires have a slick oil).
But not passing 4,200rpm at a 7,000rpm limit is a bit much.
If this was REALLY NECESSARY, the BMW ecu would limit you, just as it limits redline on cold starts.
I will be doing my own break-in procedures, which if done correctly should bring down my break-in to 600 miles.
