these cars are built to be abused, I redlined my 335 right of of the lot , installed a chip at 500 miles 3 years/41,000 later miles car runs like a tank, even tracked it at road america and drove the shit out of it that day. these are what there cars are made for those engines are tested already, i wouldnt say redline it every 5 seconds but dont baby it baby it either, its almost eighty f*** thousand dollars, drive the f**** thing
heck i even red lined the m3 i test drove, the manager said dont go above 4000, the salesman in the car goes "have fun" and i did hence my purchase. |

I have actually managed to prove this through numerous engine builds that HARD break ins create a better seal with the piston oil rings and ring landings leading to slightly higher individual cylinder compression and less oil consumption and blow by! -Malek

The link posted above is NOT BS by any means. Guys who have built engines for years can attest to similar break in procedures being more beneficial for the piston component settling process.

I'd just listen to the engineers that dumped big $$$ and hours to develop this engine and follow the break-in procedure. They wouldn't tell you to do that without a reason... just my 0.02 cents

What is the harm in following BMW's break-in procedure vs going out on your own? You'll drive the car many miles more than the break-in mileage. Flog it all you want when it is broken in.

Amazing, the distortion of reality

Bouncing off the limiter even "just" once, is in no way, shape or form compatible with the concept of conservative break-in. |

Yep, he should have removed at least 'very' . Leave that to me; my car hasn't seen redline yet, and already have 4.4K miles on the clock. Don't know why people have the urge to redline every freaking car on the streets when you have enough power to go crazy fast without redlining it. On a track would be a different matter, but no tracks around here.
