Don't sweat it! I actually found it very hard first day, because in all the shift modes, you accidentally can go over the rpm in a flash! I already have 1,100 on her since the 18th and taking too and from Manhattan today for meetings. Tomorrow is my service..

Si I had my 1,200 mile service last week and have now 1,500 on the clock. Wasn't too bad during break in and only went over 5k briefly a dozen times or so.
Today was first day I dropped the hammer and WOW!!! You basically just hold on for the ride and it consumes all your senses. 0-60 was a blur and not much more than a blur to 100! what an amazing machine.

Sometimes I feel the reason BMW and other companies created the break in period is really for the drivers. They "say" that you can't do certain things but it is really to keep the new drivers of high performance cars from driving off the lot and getting to an accident. If they say that you can't rev too much or go too fast, it gives people time to adjust and get used to the car. Well at least some people.

I believe what I am going to say was mentioned by someone here before. When the car is newly assembled, there is a possibility of certain parts or areas not properly assembled or installed properly though this is highly unlikely. By setting a recommended rpm and speed, this is to minimise causing extensive damage if there are indeed parts or areas which was incorrectly installed or assembled.
For example certain parts or gears require to be aligned properly during assembly, during assembly the gears wasn't installed and/or aligned correctly, by restricting the vehicle's engine speed, damage is minimised. At least this is what I think. In today's day and age, engineering tolerances are so tight, breaking in rituals are more of a formality rather than a necessity.

I have "Never" broken/bedded in "M" car brakes, just drove normal and used the gears all the time to slow, and never had a brake problem or a squeak out of any. This includes CCB and Steel rotors.

I took delivery of the F90 Comp on 16th May 2019. Immediately after turning out from the dealership, I took it up to 5500rpm and 2 or 3 nights later, I took it up to 100MPH LOL! Felt really good!
Brought it up a couple times to 4000 or 5000rpm when there were some "challengers", usually after hearing the loud V8 rumble and the way the car accelerated, 100% of the challengers backed off This is a beast!

It's a chronic problem throughout the line, many threads about it. Best to upgrade the pads if real bad.

Both have amazingly flat stretches, had cars flat out on both before. Also good stretch as you pass croton on hudson on 9.

Why would they squeal cause good for track?1 Do a search, good upgrade on pads that don't squeal.
