I think what he said is total BS. How could ignoring a break in period lead to catastrophic failure almost immediately? What about the press cars?
This bugged me so just got off the phone with BMWNA and confirmed this BS. Engine Malfunction had nothing to do with the operator.( also anyone who knows me would know this is BS)
This rumor can stop now.
