I know before the break in on my M2C, it was so difficult to shift smoothly perhaps attributed to the diff fluid, it literally looked like sandy oil coming out. Once it was done, it shifted like butter.

I was waiting for the million dollar confirmation that the break in maintenance does not open up performance rather than simply allow the car to perform at it's designed performance.

I couldn't get an appointment for 3 weeks at my dealer (booked solid when I took delivery), hit 1200 miles and they said it doesn't matter let her rip. Didn't go bananas until I had the service at 1800 miles, but highly doubt this matters. It's really about letting all the parts congeal and break in together. I will never understand people who don't follow the break-in procedures…

If they can get anyone gullible to follow their horrible advice they laugh, dance and drink to the devastation. You gotta know who you are watching. Amazes me how many people are unfamiliar with the concept of schadenfreude. |

Yes. Only 'full' M require the 1200 run in service. Not sure of M50i. The owners manual will tell you.
2022 M50i owner here..... vehicle DID NOT request a oil change until somewhere around 9000 miles. |

Has been common knowledge for years now since they implemented it, not sure what the shock is. It's why you always make sure the break-in service was done on a used vehicle

BMW used to require 1200-mile break-in service for ALL cars, I definitely had it done for my 1996 E36/5 per the manual (oil and diff change). But once they began paying for scheduled maintenance, the 1200-mile break-in service was done away with except for M cars.
(Coincidentally around the same time the OCI increased to 15K and diff and manual tranny fluids magically became "lifetime fill" on non-M cars). Last edited by jkoral; 10-25-2022 at 11:57 PM.. |

Great video, really enjoyed it and I think it's something new M owners should watch before they make a mistake with their new cars..
