Typically, I have taken it easy, varying revs and speed as much as possible for the 1st 500 miles or so, then gradually adjusted to full attack mode over the next 500 miles. But it sounds like it would be best to incorporate an initial ring seal process at the outset. Anyone have any advice specific to M Sport brakes? e.g. Do they require the same bedding process that Brembo recommends for their BBKs?

Good to see some fellow race bike riders in this thread. With that said, the small tolerance for race applications require something different than our cars IMHO.
I get on my cars pretty damn quickly. Never had an issue. |

This is my first BMW, but I had a R56 mini prior to this. I followed the manufacturer's recommendations. The service department can read your key fob and see max rpms, etc, so if you exceed recommendations don't you run the risk of a warranty claim rejection?

Nope! Been doing it this way for over 10 years. Never had an issue.

In all my cars, I've never waited 1000+ miles to increase revs. I mean I don't drop the clutch and drive like a hooligan but I definitely enjoy the car from mile 1. I've never had an oil burning issue or anything else. Life is too short. Enjoy the car.
I also read somewhere that each BMW is revved pretty high as it leaves the factory. Some kind of test I assume but the point being it's not babied out of the factory. |

I never understood the massive debate over break-in methods..
Why not keep things simple (and sensible) and follow the 'factory recommended' method - 1,200 miles no WOT and nothing over 100mph; with varied speeds and RPM. I don't understand why this is questioned so often, and why people are in a rush to find a shorter or simpler way. If you want to break in ASAP, then a long highway drive should do it. My first car, a 1997 Acura Integra GS-R, I redlined coming out of the dealership, being the 16 yr old that I was, I was brash, and just stupid, and didn't truly consider how such aggressive engine break in would impact the cars life... The car would die a sad death at around 117k miles with damaged oil rings, and leaking oil, and poor engine pressure. For those who say they've had no problems after gunning it with 0-100 miles on the car - you're probably fine the first few years, but consider 70-80k+ miles and 4-5 years down the road, if not for you (leasers), then at least for the next purchaser of your car.
