Your probably right. Given some of the insane speeds on the Autobahn I'm sure these engines were tested and bedded in those conditions. Also some of us tend the baby the /// engines a lot without driving it the way it should be in the first place. Having said that, there are no public roads outside Germany where you can do such speed, and even if you're a everyday commuter on a high/freeway you will be cruising.
