I like the attitude, but I think I have a plan: every week, I'll increase RPMs by 1000 RPMs in every gear (except for 6th): 6500 RPMs, 7500 RPMs, 8500 RPMs. It'll take me 3 weeks. I think this will work, and it'll probably be safe too.m3tempted said:
M3: Hit 1200 miles this morning!
FINALLY! Tomorrow morning (monday), I will have my 1,200 mile service appointment to have all my fluids drained and replaced. Is there anything I should know besides not going above 137 MPH until 3100 miles (I don't intend on going that fast any time soon, unless I'm headed to Vegas). I've been a really good boy and haven't taken my car past 5,500 RPMs and not past 105 MPH. I maybe hit 6K RPMs by accident on 2 or 3 occasions, but that's it.
Can I just take my baby all the way up to 8,000 RPMs or should I gradually take it there in the next couple hundred miles or so??? I just want to make sure to do this right.
Let the "Sport" button pressing begin!

Sounds like a plan! Good luck w/the Mmaynardc said:
I would be patient about it. Especially if you plan on keeping this car a long time! After my 1200 miles service, I still did not floor it, go to 8000 RPM, or press the sport button!
I created my own break-in:
max 6000 RPM till 2000 miles
max 7000 RPM till 3000 miles
I meant not to press the sport button until 3100 miles, but I ended up pressing it at 2100 miles I had a hot girl in my car and it just seemed like the right time!
Enjoy your baby, and be careful! :thumbup:

M3 reached 10k this weekend...
time to trade her in and do it again! Well, looks like I will be indeed trading it in for a '04 reason being I am getting a great offer on my '02. Plus I want to go with some added options, 19's & nav(nav-tv eventually). Not looking forward to the break-in though.:thumbdwn:
