Like any piece of machinery, the harder you drive it, and the more often, the more likely you are to cause premature wear or failure, if not to the whole car, perhaps to an individual component. It is designed to take some punishment, just depends on how you dish it out. As an analogy, if you were drilling concrete with a standard masonry drill bit, would you do short bursts to power with cooling down periods, or just go for it until you saw sparks flying? Think of your M5 as a more complex version of that mechanical process... |

I took mine to redline on mile 1, did several WOT pulls as well. 10k miles now, not burning a drop of oil and dynoes high numbers. Cheers

It would be a very good idea to wait until the oil is changed before you go WOT / above break-in limits.
