"Break-in" period
Age old debate, across all makes and models.
In anticipation of taking delivery "hopefully" on Friday, I intend to immediately rip her out to the Hamptons for the weekend, about a 200mile run. So can you "dive her like you stole it" or does it truly need a break in and what's manual recommend? I know the basics for tires and brakes, but what does the power train really require mileage wise, in anything..

I was told 1,200 miles and during that time keep it "under" 5500rpm and 100mph. After which, you need to bring in for the break-in service which is a fluid swap out. There's a service reminder that's constantly on in iDrive to remind you about it.

If you have CCB, definitely take it easy on them until 1200mi. |

I have 400 miles on the car, took it to Upstate. Had an ability to get some nice stretches. Open her up to 6K rpms and it felt GREAT! I certainly give her time to warm up but I dont wait for the break in. Again thats me

Where about are you in metro area and where'd you go upstate? I have some great runs laid out, since I am now based in Westchester. Great runs up to Bear Mountain, Katonah to Ridgefiled Ct., etc.

I got mine recently with euro delivery. I kept to the suggested limits. 100 mph is still faster than most US driving. Needed to do some passing on 2 lane roads. I may have gone over the rpm limit but the acceleration is phenomenal. Pressed into seat!

Obviously this needs to be conducted in a controlled location. |

Wow I never knew that... You're saying that little parking brake switch can be lifted up while driving and it will apply maximum braking pressure until it's released? I've always been too chicken to pull it while moving (in a controlled environment of course).

I want to add a caveat warning now since this thread will inevitably be resurrected in the future. *When Active Driving Assistant Plus is replaced by or supplemented with Active Driving Assistant Pro, pulling the parking brake while driving activates Emergency Stop Assist. This Autonomous Driving Aid activates the Emergency Flashers and all interior lights, then will either stop the car within its lane, steer the car to a clearer lane closer to the shoulder and come to a stop, or if conditions allow, steer the car onto the shoulder clear of traffic and stop. The eCall system will then automatically initiate a call once the car has come to a stop. |

I did same! lol Took her up the Taconic, through all the twisties as well (through that park section) and absolutely was floored by the performance!! I put over 100 miles on her the first day and this weekend ripping her out to the Hamptons vacation home. That will put another 400miles on her and next weekend in Pocono for NASCAR. I think within 2 weeks, i'll have 1k on the clock. lol I'm going to drive the wheels off this car, it's such an incredible experience. Worth every cent of the lease!
