After 1200 mile service....

danielbreese · 01-05-2012, 08:54 PM

Do you completely unleash the car or gradually go all out over say the next 2000 miles?

johnnyb84 · 01-05-2012, 09:10 PM

Drive it like you stole it!

Mahlzeit · 01-05-2012, 09:21 PM

Good God people, DRIVE!

bayer · 01-05-2012, 09:22 PM

Gave it full beans leaving the dealer after the service

///1M · 01-05-2012, 09:36 PM

Is there any real risk in not doing the 1,200 mile service on time? I'll be around 1,500 miles. Just curious...

dcb · 01-05-2012, 10:12 PM

I did my run in today and drove it like I stole it!! And loved it!!

vito747 · 01-05-2012, 11:08 PM

I gradually increased the RPM´s and the power demand for the next 1000 KM after service... I did not go full till almost 4000 KM.

Your poor car was probably thinking "come on man, what is wrong with you?"

Barely pulled out of the dealer on to the road and hammered it

robertm · 01-06-2012, 08:21 AM

I let the car warm up at the dealer then laid tracks pulling out. I fullfilled so many BMW DB stereotypes it wasn't even funny

On a serious note, what's the next scheduled service? Is it 5k miles? I plan on changing the oil then regardless.

Allthough your components are now pretty much 'worn-in', I would at least stick to the pre-service prescribed behavior as all wear-in metal debris is still in your trans/diff/motor oil. It can cause extra wear if you go all out before the run-in service.

Coño, what were you thinking, this car is made to be driven like bat out of hell. So far, I'm almost there for the service and it has been so therapeutic it's not even funny. Balls to the wall!

Salut

What's the next service date after 1200 mi? And what do they do? I know I know it's probably listed in the owners manual...
