Don't forget the chapstick .. don't want your lips cracking up from the large smile that will be on your face!

Forget the chapstick!!! Don't forget your diaper.

ruffstik · 04-15-2008, 02:41 PM

I better stock up on some Depends! lol

vivid · 04-15-2008, 02:49 PM

not to spoil your fun but do an oil change first.

ruffstik · 04-15-2008, 02:57 PM

I've been debating that....you really think it's necessary since it's got that synthetic stuff in there now?

infinitekidM2C · 04-15-2008, 02:59 PM

i'd say oil change after you give her a few high rpms runs..

Crowley · 04-15-2008, 03:09 PM

I'll be doing an oil change at 1200 .. just peace of mind for me ..

:agree:

I will be doing one after the first 1200miles then every at 7500 miles after that...

thesmokingone · 04-15-2008, 03:17 PM

yea plus its only like $50

raisemyrent · 04-15-2008, 03:18 PM

oil change!!!
I was talking to a car mechanic the other day, and he was telling me about when they used to build race engines for nascar, they'd break them in and then do the oil change, and he said (of course, different engines, but still) that it's almost pure metal that comes out when you drain it... slight exaggeration, but do you really want that pumping through your car's heart for 15,000kms or whatever the crazy recommended oil change interval is with synthetic?
I don't... but just my 2 cents

ruffstik · 04-15-2008, 03:30 PM

where is it $50? I though an oil change at BMW would be over $100?

vivid · 04-15-2008, 03:33 PM

at a dealer they are... find a private BMW mechanic (even sears or jiffy lube could do it if you trust them) in your area and they it should be around $50

kbimmer135i · 04-15-2008, 04:25 PM

NovaBimmer · 04-15-2008, 09:15 PM

these are race engines with tight tolerances so its a lot different

E82tt6 · 04-15-2008, 09:38 PM

I'll be doing oil and diff in mine as soon as it gets back. She got a GOOOD shakedown run over in Europe, I'm sure the engine is quite well broken in at this point! I think I spent a good 30-50 miles between 120 and 150 after hitting 1200 miles.
