At break-in, they take off the limiters.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this part is wrong. There are no limits on the car, not even the lack of launch control like the F8x series had until being unlocked in DCT models during the initial RIS/Break-in Service. It's purely recommended that you limit RPMs and top speed until 1200 and 3100 miles, but there is nothing to prevent you from doing it from mile 1.
Otherwise, I agree..it's a great car and incredible given the weight/high center of gravity. |
Huh, This is my first M-car, so just going in what I was told by BMW NA, my sales guy, service advisor and the the tech who did the work on it... Also talked to a few other M owners and they also indicated it. So is BMW just blowing smoke up our asses on this for some reason? What's you take on it? Interested to hear your insight!
I mean, mine did run "better" after he service... The exhaust got it's "pop" when shifting, etc. Mind over matter...? Perhaps, I fell for the whole "magic button" thing... Admittedly, I did drive like and "old lady" for the first 1200 as I wanted to ease her into use and scared shitless of breaking something I just wrote a very big check for... So maybe that's it too...
