Remember the brakes and tires need about 300 miles as well as the suspension so after that magic 300 number go to town on it.

Break in is more for the transmission & rear differential. Not as much of an issue for the engine as I posted earlier.

Interesting comment I read awhile back, "Your car is like your kid, treat it like a pussy and it will grow up to be a pussy..."
Obviously, the person who stated that believed in breaking the car in hard. But I see no harm in following the break-in recommendations. But to the OP, I think your car will be fine...

Modern engines are quite different from 40 years ago. Or even 20. Remember reading the main reason for break-in back then was the honing on iron cylinder liners. Now even Nikasil coating is old technology . Plus materials and tolerances are much better as well. Not saying he's wrong, but times have changed dramatically . I still enjoy tinkering with the double-pumper and timing on the Cobra's BB, but still wish it was fuel injected with electronic controls. Take care.

I know this is a little late for this thread.
I purchased a new 2006 M5 in 2006. I was a little immature so I beat the living shit out of it from mile 3 to 55,000. I never had anything go wrong with it except I hated the SMG always looking for the right gear. I now have a new2011 M3 and I have been very good to her. I bought my M3 on May 28th and it just know has 1150 so I am getting its oil changed on Aug 18th. Do you really have to be good to it until mile 3000? I really would love to drive it hard just once!!!!!! Any info would and is appreciated.
