New thread next week: Hey Guys, not sure what's going on but my car is making a funny noise....Germans: "do notz go over ze 4 thouzand rpmz for ze virst 1200 milez......"
Me: "......... MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE, WHEEEEEEEEEEE, POPOPOPOPOPOPOP, MEEEEEEEEEEEE, MUHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE........."
I always break cars in "moderately" hard. Get them up to temp and run through the rev range. Lots of engine braking on off ramps. Get everything seated nicely. Proof kinda came when I was part of an STI forum and everyone that followed the break in procedure had oil loss, and those that did hard break in had no issues. I've done it with every new car and motorcycle I've had and never an issue. Key is to wait till it's good and hot and ready to go.New thread next week: Hey Guys, not sure what's going on but my car is making a funny noise....
Just kidding... never had a new car but I'm sure I'd follow the break in as close as I could but understand how tempting it would be to enjoy the car. Growing up racing atv's, dirt bikes we didn't follow any sort of break in procedure on a new motor build. Break it in how you're gonna drive it
i agree with this and @Dannyvandelft . when i had the x5 for break-in i drove it like it was a sports car while being in appropriate break-in rev ranges. Had zero mechanical issues. I say break it in like how youre gonna drive it but stay below the 4500 rpm until 1200 miles. I'm sure the germans do a lot of testing to figure out what rpms and miles you need for appropriate break-in. better safe than sorrynever had a new car but I'm sure I'd follow the break in as close as I could but understand how tempting it would be to enjoy the car.

Took 2 months for me from that point.What does it mean by "your vehicle just arrived at our railyard, from there car will be shipped to our dealership" how long will it take to hit the dealership at this point?
I also come from racing motocross, and the thought was always break it in how you would normally be using it, so we would break em in hard. The thought was that was the proper way to seating/sealing the rings properlyGrowing up racing atv's, dirt bikes we didn't follow any sort of break in procedure on a new motor build.

Yep, we did the same, never had any issues.I also come from racing motocross, and the thought was always break it in how you would normally be using it, so we would break em in hard. The thought was that was the proper way to seating/sealing the rings properly
Never really failed me in motorcycles or cars for that matter that I can remember...
Now I don't mean go redline it all over the place, but it wont hurt to rev it out IMO.
