I imagine that break in periods are just a leftover precaution from when manufacturing and production wasn't as advanced as it is today. Better oiling / filtering, good CNC milling, better practices have probably made break-in periods much less necessary. |

BMW NA replaced my blown E46 M3 engine when I had about 40k miles on it. I got a loaner 330 or 335 for 6 weeks, and when I sold the car with about 110k on the car but only 70k on the engine, it was a selling point. The guy who bought it said he wouldn't have bought it if it still had the original engine.
That the free new engine and see what kinda loaner you can get! |

Glad you're engine was covered by warrantee , I would take it easy for 1200 miles to be on the safe side. Btw, if they said it was run in already, did they also say then it doesn't need a 1200 mile oil change?

Man I love BMW. I might be one of the biggest BMW fanboys and will
Defend the brand until my deathbed but I had a E30 vert and a 325 ci Both were hella reliable and I did all of my own maintenance and I joined this fourum to get the lowdown Ventured off with a bunch of different brands over the years and have been itching to get back in to a BMW particularly this platform and the S65/S85 motor but man these horror Stories seem horrible |
