I have been enjoying my G80 M3 competion for about 2 weeks now.
It is a great car which improves my quality of life a lot on a daily basis. Always gives me a big smile.

On monday i visited my BMW dealer among other things to make a appointment for the run-in inspection next week. I asked them : how much extra power will be available after the 2000 km / 1600 miles run in inspection service ?
They estimated around 20% of the power of the car will be added / be available after run-in inspection......

I told them this is great but actually not really necessecary as the car already has so much power now. Who has a idea of how much extra power will become available after run-in service that is not yet available now ? I just can not believe it really will be as much as 20 %..... That would be just unbelievable......
But then again : the G80 M3 for me is the most unbelievable machine i have ever owned... Great great car !!! You should all buy one immediately !!!

I have a base 6MT and didn't feel any additional power in the break-in rev range. Going from 5500 to 7200RPM was a big unlock, though. The car responds well to going to redline.

Jordan tuned dynod before and after and there was no difference.

There is zero extra power after the 1200 mile run in service.

0 Power.

[MKParris]

There is at least 85 hp. The service unlocks cylinder 6 allowing you to use the whole engine.

Prior to the service that piston doesnt move.

After all that is written here , how do people still think this is true? No disrespect to the OP. The so called extra power comes from you not being restricted to keeping it under 4500 or so RPM's. After your break-in service you can rev all the way to the redline if you like. H = T x rpm/5252 . H is HP and T is torque

It's hilarious , dealers nationwide since the E60/E9X days have been BSing about the 1200 mile service unlocking "full potential".
It's just an oil flush , nothing more , nothing less.
No software is being updated nor tuned.

The main reason for this is because during the first 1000 miles or so , a brand new engine ( regardless whether a typical gas engine or huge 15 liter Diesel engine ) could potentially have some metal shavings in the oil pan , so they flush the oil to make sure it doesn't get into the filter or elsewhere just incase.

It's not necessary but doesn't hurt either and more of a luxury service to make you feel better and special for buying an ///M.

This HAS to be a bullshit troll post 😂.

Recalling the days of my E93 M3 ownership, the other big debate was over exactly how closely one should follow the break-in mileage limitations. Anecdotally, it seemed that some owners who dumped the clutch and ripped it out of the delivery day and ran them up to the 8400 redline within the first 1,200 miles would sometime use less oil later on in the car's life than those that were more observant of the initial guidelines.

Some lines of thought do seem to die hard.

Yes, that is correct because if you apply proper pressure to an engine without actual abuse , the rings sit nicely inside and that's the result.

1000 extra hp...

Jesus people, stop with these threads!

LOLOL

Whats worse than the added power after service threads? The one member who revives the dead.

Yo have you done your 1200 mile service on the X drive?

If so did they change the front axle diff oil?

Technically, the break-in does NOT yield more Torque.
The powertrain basics remains the same (turbos PSI, fuel injection, etc...) ...
but you do unlock some extra RPM, and technically that brings more maximum HP (re- your equation).

[Gfit]

The is 100% not correct. Not even a remote possibility of that being true.

Yes, an engineer I am not

Should we start another thread saying that ceramic coating is worth .25 seconds in the 1/4 mile due to its slickness? 🤔

Some say, after break in service it turns on the auxiliary EV system in M Mode which gives it 3 more HP. From factory you'll have 500 HP, but after 1200 miles it'll be 503 HP. They also do a differential oil change, because you have a differential in HP now, so the oil needs to be more lubricated.

Trust me, I'm a doctor
