[Cincinnatus]

There is a specific run-in regime for any ///M car that requires an oil service before 2k miles(?) and no revs beyond a certain point during break in. I'd suggest you be mindful of those guidelines for this new motor to have everything seated and settled properly or you'll likely regret it.

On my end, I bought an M6 from a dealer in Chitown coming up on 4 years ago at 28K and I've religiously changed the oil every 5k miles with Blackstone testing to be sure I'm in good shape to my present 49k miles. I drive assertively, but don't beat on the car, often hitting the limiter on the highway just to 'clear my throat' with no problems. To date, I consider myself to be lucky I own one specimen of only 1933 F13's to come to the US.
