Remember what your manual says about break-in....

"After driving 1,200 miles/2,000km: Engine and vehicle speeds can be gradually increased" (P. 98)

Always better not to just mash the throttle down, but start abusing it in measured stages :wink:

too late....pedal has been mashed and will now continue to be mashed....way too much fun!

oil change, differential oil change, and if you have a manual, transmission fluid change. of course, if you plan to own the car more than 5 years or 60k miles.

Mine is wearing thin and I'm only @ 200 miles.

how bad is it if you don't wait for the break in period? ...on a lease?

it's going to take some discipline.

Robert · 04-20-2008, 11:40 PM

Any idea how much of a transmission fuild change would cost me?

Uptown Bully · 04-20-2008, 11:48 PM

Why are people paying for oil changes? Is it just me or don't we get 4 years free service at the dealer?

kbimmer135i · 04-21-2008, 01:00 AM

the 1200 miles oil change is not covered by BMW since it's not mandatory. the 1200 miles oil change is up to you. you don't have to do an oil change if you don't want to.

I'll be hitting 1200 this week ..... time for an oil change !!

I have mashed the gas pedal a few times already though .. lol
