Love the warm up lights!! Even the analogue disk on my '11 M3 was cool but these will be sick. One function I miss in my M5.

That's a really good question, and I don't know if anyone will be able to answer it accurately without having seen a new M3/4 without the adjustable suspension considering the only cars that currently have a display similar to that (M5/6) have the adjustable suspension as standard. If I had to guess, I'd say that the Suspension part of the display just wouldn't be there. Oddly enough though, in pictures of the interior of the M3/4 in the online car configurator at bmwusa.com, you can see a button to adjust the suspension even before equipping the Adaptive M Suspension option.

I just don't get why these cars need to be broken in so much more carefully than any other modern car of the road today. What gives!? I had a previous M car ('07 M Coupe) so I'm familiar with the requirements, but I never actually stuck to the limited usage during the first 1,200 miles and the car was just fine. Can anyone explain why a modern German car needs this? Every Ferrari is thrown out onto the track for a few hot laps straight off the assembly line and no issues there.

I know it's not a valid comparison, but that's how all race bikes get their motors broken in.

I've always followed the break-in rules with my BMWs...since I tend to keep them for a long time I'm a bit paranoid about this. If I was only going to keep the car for 3-5 years I wouldn't be concerned (just maybe a bit guilty in regards to the next owners).

And FYI for launch control is not as easy as it looks sometimes i can get it to activate 10 times in a row and more than often when I have the space to actually try it I can't get it for the life of me..
It was fun the one time I did it lol tire tracks are still in the street from 4 months ago hahahaha .. |

Is there a range of miles before the fluid change. I am doing a Performance Center delivery and would rather not plan my trip around being at a BMW Dealer at 1200 miles exact.

If these cars were THAT finicky I wouldn't want it to begin with. And for reference my M5 that was done early threw down between 551whp-570[high] and 510-531[high]wtrq (with charcoal filters... Thanks California), so I doubt doing it a little early or late would have any kind of negative impact on future performance... Especially if M4 drivers luck out and get an underrated engine like the 63tu or N54. |

I'm wondering why we cannot drive over 170 km/h during break-in. What is matter is the RPM, if we drive in 7th gear around 4000 rpm the speed could be around 210 km/h.
I m thinking of that because I may go to get my F82 at the BMW welt delivery and i wanna enjoy the German highway and respect the break-in. If anyone can explain me, many thanks |

Is the 1200 mile service just oil and filter?
Just a quick question. Is the 1200 mile service just oil and filter change? Im assuming that is a fairly simple task that I can handle myself. I am in the UK and will have my American spec M3 in a few weeks. Unfortunately I do not get free maintenance while I am here in the UK. So to save a few bucks I figured I would just do the 1200 mile service myself.
Simple answers please. I do not wish to start a debate about whether or not to observe the 1200 mile break in. Thanks. |

One of the guys out here in Utah took his new M4 out on the track with 200 miles.
The instructor driving knew what he was doing and quickly stalked and then overtook a 991 turbo S. Obviously, these were not equal drivers..but the 991 driver wasn't a total rookie.... It was pretty cool to see the 991 guy wave us on... The instructor (who has a fully raced out GT-R Full carbon race car) ranted and raved the entire time. He felt like the M4 was a huge step up and much more planted and capable than the E92. Was a really fun day. The drive home on the freeway was just as impressive (in different ways) as the car was on the track. m4 FTW. |

Should i do the break-in service before or after i have done some laps on the nürburgring?
According to google maps i will have done about 1300 miles/2100 km on my trip when i'm near the ring. Last edited by ///REWO; 07-07-2014 at 09:23 AM.. |

I would change the oil before doing laps. It would get all the gunk in the "break in period" out of the engine so it would not be sloshing around in the pan during your laps. New oil is never a bad thing.
