2018 F90, just a regular M5 not competition or CS.

Sorry if this is something obvious, but we just got the full service details from the dealer where we have always gone to, and there is no record of any "break-in" service. What have we lost or does this matter?

Thanks

Well I guess that means me and the dealer will have a bit of a discussion...thanks

Yeh reading forums here , bmw appear to very strict about that 1200 mile service , not much tolerance of being either side.

Dealer should be able to check if it's had it , let's hope so and for reasons unknown, the idrive was not updated

I own a bmw shop if u pm me vin nr I can run it to see the service history

As above, should have no trouble getting a complete review of service if done at any BMW shop. If for some odd reason the 'break in service' was not done, you need to get that oil in the differential changed STAT. and the front and rear use a different oil so make sure they use the right stuff.

Was it a CPO? If so, doubtful they would pass it without that service.

A dealer sold me a CPO with shipping blocks that had been in there for a year, so…

Was the sales pitch " it has firm sporty suspension"!?

The previous owner traded it in because he didn't like the ride. No joke.

Good grief…..

Falling for the "but it's a CPO" trap is something BMW counts on. They honestly do a good job with them overall, but if you still aren't doing due diligence on them, you could be screwing yourself. CPOs are a way for BMW to help themselves, not consumers. Things like shipping blocks or crappy brakes, or worn coil packs, etc. are not at all uncommon, and are things anyone could miss.

Well, coverage specific to the engine and diff for any remaining warranty at least.

If we're starting the "my dealer is a moron" thread...

My 18 M5 came back after new tire installation with the rear wheels on the front and the fronts on the rear.

Always double check. Always.

This is what I meant with my post above. Just because they checked off that a CPO was done doesn't mean anyone looked too closely at the car. As with anything, caveat emptor.

In case anyone is curious, this is what they look like after 10k miles
