Launch control gets enabled, and it doesn’t get much more “abusey” than that. There are no restrictions on RPM, etc, so yes. Many would say it’s okay to “abuse” it from brand new, and that you’ll have a better engine for doing it, but that is a topic of debate. I didn’t track mine right off the break in service, but I certainly didn’t hold back in any way, and started taking it to red line whenever I wanted.

My car was ready at mile 2 right after I drove it out of the Welt onto the Autobahn and hit 150mph.

That is so against the BMW manual But it should not be a problem

I read people that did not go above 5K rpm during the break in period. Not sure how they were able to do it

Hahaha. BMW manual. Hahaha

30,000 Miles and my car is perfect. No issues.

I'm just messing around man. I don't believe in the "break in" nonsense but I understand why some do.

At the end of the day it's car. They're not special edition Lambo's/Ferrari's. Drive them
