Why bother even having a run-in procedure if it's OK for demo cars not to stick to it?

My point is there should be procedures put in place for demo cars. Either have them pre run-in, or stick to the run-in procedure until enough miles have been put on the clock.

I'm afraid the vast majority of salesmen, and not just BMW, are not enthusiasts and don't really care about something if ultimately it won't affect them. Hence the response to my initial post from ukm3 as "you live in a perfect world don't you".

As there are unfortunately bad apple mechanics who look at having a performance car to work on and test as a chance to have a bit of fun with somebody else's car. "It's alright, they're meant to have the wheels driven off them."
