Very well done and helpful to others. Exactly what this should be used for. I commend you dear sir.

One little thing... there is NO such thing as the ECU "opening up" after 1,200 miles.

The only thing the break-in service does is allow the ability to use LC.

The power you have now, is the same power you'll have at 59,000 miles.

This has been proven 1,000 times over.

I don't think my wife will ever sell her M2, but if she does.. I'd be very happy to see an X3M in the garage.
Ok, I thought the dealer said something is unlocked after the first service. Maybe I misheard, but it doesn’t really matter as I’m my own nanny for now. As soon as I start to get a big grin going I look at the speedo or tach and come off the pedal.

Stealing the old Bentley rating - power seems adequate!

Oh I'm sure the dealer said that. Many do. I personally think they should be slapped for saying that crap. Just grinds me when someone who works with the company day in and day out is completely out of the game or worse, doesn't care enough to learn.

And rumor has it a fire shut down the only plant that made tires for the 7-series way back when. So BMW normally (but not always) dual sources their tires.

Btw, very nice writeup.
