. I think you have answered your own question. If you abuse your engine and you keep the car long enough, you will pay in extra maintaince and repair.

From what I heard, yes. it burns the carbon build ups. you don't have to go 150mph though
just go for a long drive and it will clean it.I floor it when ever I want to. Just make sure the engine is warmed up (oil and coolant temp) then your fine.
As for cleaning your engine, my shop foreman told me that it is the most efficient to crusie 120km/h (for a while) and the engine will clean itself.
But I guess it also doesn't hurt to cruise at WOT once in a while (provided that the evironment is safe to do so)...this is why there is the Autobaun.....
I realize that when my engine is city driven, I get less gas mileage. But after "decarbonizing my engine" I notice smoother idling and better gas comsumption.......:eeps:

Obviously abusing your car will make it die sooner. But opening it up every once in a while isn't a bad thing. With a car like an M3, or other "super car" if you will, it's built to take high stresses. I'm no engineer here, so I'm just making a wild assumption. German engineering has been phenominal in my experiences. I remember being on the Autobahn seeing cars the size and style of a Geo Metro do things that would destroy a nice American car. lol.
Now as far as for cleaning the engine, I have to believe that some truths lie here. My dad had always told me that opening it up every now and again will help clean things out. My Talon had been running like it was on 2 cylinders and the shop wanted about 350 bucks to put it up on a computer to see what was up. I didn't have the money so my dad said to go dump 2 bottles of injector/engine cleaner in the gas and find and open place and just goose it and that if it blew up he'd cover repairs/replacement, but 5 dollars was better to try than 350. I ran out onto a nice wide open street near me and just got on it. She ran like a lazy pregnant cow up until about 5000rpm's and maybe like 2mph (exageration but that's how it felt.) All of a sudden there was some chuggin and a small bang and a puff of black/grey/blue smoke came out of the back and all of a sudden she ran like brand new.
Well, sorry for the long 1st post here. I hope that at least offers some small help to ya

That's why you get a lease Drive hard as you want for 3 years...return it, and let the dealership fix it.:thumbup: And then another car (M3 M3 M3 M3 M3...) for 3 years...drive it hard again! I'm assuming that by the time I'm 30, BMW AG will know who Phillip Korkis is..."notorious for killing leased BMW's"
