Well I ran in my car just like I did everything else I've owned. On my 07 race preped Honda trx450 I really ran it in. Same thing w my 80mph Yamaha wave runner. Everything I've owned was a hp motor so I can attest to seating in the rings the your going to drive your car. At least my method works for me and I've had no problems.

Wow, great thread. I was feeling a little guilty about being liberal with the right foot during break in. Not so much anymore
Also makes sense of the wild range of oil consumption reports from various F10 M5 owners. gmd2003, please join us more often and keep us enlightened. Excellent info!

Therapeutic for me too. Removed lots of guilt about how I've treated my two. The F12 is due for her 1200 mi and I cannot deny that she has won a few races-lol!

What I like about this proposed advice on break in is that you can run this exercise during the first 20 miles and still technically be under the BMW procedures. I worry about redlining in during break in since it leaves a trail in the computer and BMW could use it to void warranty work if you later have an issue with the engine. I also like the fact that it allows you to properly break int he engine and still properly break int he trnasmission, diff, etc.

This is excellent, thank you! I'll definitely follow these break in procedures in Sept!
