More power after the 1200 mile service?
What are you impressions of the G8x following your 1200 mile service.
It feels to me like the engine is more responsive; more power/torque. Am I imagining it?

A friend of mine with the G80 competition swears that they do a change to release all of those extra horsepowers that are constrained during the break-in period.
Since I'm taking it easy during break-in, I'll likely not notice any difference, if there is one. Or maybe they only do it for the competition model.

I just had my done and the only thing is done is engine and differential fluid change the Service rep said that the power gain is just a rumer started on the internet and is not true and he owns a G80 so I belive now that is just a rumer, absolutly no power gain in my case and response is the same.

Guys for real my friends new M5 CS will cut power when he tries to drift in 2WR mode, ad the boost seems very conservative. It will definitely not do that after the break-in service. Not a myth I experienced it first hand. Or maybe it's a CS thing?

I heard the rumor and was thinking that maybe they would remap the ECU for faster power delivery. Meaning that you would still have 503hp from mile 0, just delivered more gently. But that looks like is not even the case.
On my S1000RR, RPMs were limited during the break-in period. I thought BMW cars would mirror that approach... NOT. That explains the number of people posting 1/4mi. times and 0-60 so early into the release

I am here in Germany and I just drop my car off for service. The service advisor says they do the differential fluid and oil change and yes they do go in the ECU and let the car know that the first service has been completed and it does open up additional horsepower. The car he said is probably about 450hp before the service and it opens up the full power once complete.

Haha, I just had my dealer tell me the same thing, I'm sitting in the lobby waiting for the service to be completed. Whatever the truth really is, the car is plenty fast for me, so...whatever.
