Haha I feel you. I just picked my car up from the service @ 950 miles. The tech said if the oil reminder is orange or red in color it's time to get the service done. And yes, it's very difficult not to send it 😆

In the US, I have noted a number of you guys tend to pick up the car at the port and drive them back home. How do you vary the speed / engine speed on the highway? Or more precisely, how much do you feel you have to vary?
This is the first M I have had to take on a long trip (in the UK anyway!) before I have had the run-in carried out. |

This thread is informative. I should take delivery locally (fortunately) at the first of the year. I’m trying to reconcile the recommended break-in against what some recommend to drive hard and seat the rings, or whatever.
I’ll be taking it easy. My 2003 has 80k miles, and 3-4 years of that was long commute. I’ll enjoy it but will struggle to get the necessary miles.

In sport + you'll get the burbles on high rev downshifts and lifting off the throttle after high revs. Likely you didn't notice it existed because of babying the car during break in.

Quite frankly, I really have not felt any difference since the break-in during my return trip, as I felt it was really good before the service. It also seems to sound the same, although I have not done any red-line driving since.

Break In Service done - Steering Squeak Present - But don't have car
Finally had the break-in service done at 1979kms after 8 months (lots of travel in 2022).
BMW had a service bulletin re the squeak in the steering column. They carried out the recommended fixes, but still there. BMW are replacing the steering column apparently. Have left it with them for a week or two while the parts come in as I am off overseas again for work so will not need the car. So, need to wait to try out the Launch Control.

Late break in
Does it matter if the break in service is done at 1400 miles instead of the 1200 mark? Just due to dealership availability of when they can get the car in to be serviced

Just got my break-in service done last week, no issues except for an oily hand print on the hood/fender I noticed afterwards. I took a walk down the street to get coffee while I was waiting and I thought I saw my car leave. I caught my car coming back in

Detail Maniac is having an open house, this Saturday on the 12th, at 9 am. 600 Sunbeam Ave, Sacramento.
Hosted by BMWCCA, Sacramento Chapter. I'll probably be posting it on the Bimmerpost Event Calendar. I just rechecked the BMWCCA GoldenGate chapter event, and it's in Moss Landing, but that's 200 miles one way, from me. Skipping that one. So, just detail maniac for me.

Call your dealer to confirm, but that's what this BMW dealer's person in charge of warranty services said to me.
