This should shed some light on this controversial topic. Here is what Lotus tells Elise owners. They're the most detailed break-in instructions I've ever seen, and they make a lot of sense. (sorry my cut/copy/paste skills are still developing) This is the same company that logs everything your car did during break-in and the techs can also give you a "naughty or nice" print out when you go for your post breakin service. I'm at 1039 miles on my C63 now, and I wish I'd read this for a refresher, but I think I did OK with my break-in overall.
