Oppps.. I tried very hard to keep mine under control but its not working out for me so well. Today I was playing with a vette and I had to get all over my M. No fun shifting at 5 G's.... Guess I'll only keep it till 5,000 miles or so anyway |

So do we actually know if there is a lower-HP mode for the M3 until the first service interval?

Seriously, lay off the internet tough guy act. You have a M3 and your about as mature as a breast-fed infant, we get it already. MAYBE IF I TALK LIKE THIS HE WILL LISTEN TO ME AND THINK WHAT IM SAYING IS IMPORTANT! P.S. Epacy has been an enthusiast of the M3 and a very contributive member of this forum long before you even knew the car was coming out. Perhaps you should refrain from treating some of the community elders like total dog-shit. I'll also add in that again perhaps you should respect your car more. Not everyone is so privileged.

The miles to service displays every time you start the car--what's it saying? In iDrive you can get the more detailed status under Settings/Info Sources/Service Requirements.

It's not clear if your engine actually burnt more oil or not unless the computer records oil levels over time and the BMW tech was able to retrieve that info. It is possible that your car came off the factory with less oil than it should have had. I think this happened to someone else here, a member from the UK?
P.S. Please stop trying to insult people for the type of car they drive. If not, bear the consequences, some of which were pretty darn hilarious actually.

I was thinking the same thing. I almost hope you did ruin the engine because you clearly aren't mature enough to take a suggestion, let alone treat an M the right way. I feel sorry for your car.

FYI....I'm at 2200 miles and my engine is running stronger than ever! Ur such a loser for wishing ill will on someone's engine. I may have said someone immature things, which by the way I have already apologized for, but wish ill will..I will never do. COWMOO32 needs to stick to cow tipping and banging relatives. |

Miles to service
On the six series it was based upon the number of gallons burned, not the mileage. Someone on the bimmerfest board knew the exact number of gallons.
Perhaps a good indication of how hard it was driven overall. Maybe it's the same on the M3 |

Lot of penis showing going on in this thread.
To answer G's question though...it is based all internally by the car's computer. It'll tell you when to go in, so you should probably do it as the maintenance is free anyway :P. As for break-ins....it's all about taking it easy and letting everything set right. I'd ask the dealer to give you fully synthetic if they haven't already. When I got my cars and even my motorcycle they have a break-in period IN THE MANUAL. 1000(gsx-r) miles to 2500(wrx) miles. I imagine with a high revving V8 and an engine that's kind of new, you'd want to follow the guidelines and put your ego aside when running against a vette, porsche, equally competitive ride. |

Damn, I must have hit a nerve there. You're one to talk about emotions. I hope it makes you feel better talking down to people because of the car they drive; it really will get you places in life. You're not your car, it isn't what defines you. I've seen enough of your personality on here to know what type of person you are. I won't even humor you any more, it's not worth my time.
