1200 Mile Maintenance - Does anyone know??
Gents, there seems to be a lot of rumors out there about what actually happens during the 1200 maintenance on the M2. Does anyone have facts or are we going with speculation? I know that there are couple of people who have had this done thus far, and I am coming up on mine. Just wondering what it is I should be looking for...are there different modes in iDrive, is there a new tune, does Jeremy Clarkson deliver the car back to my driveway with Gigi Hadid in the passenger seat for a one nighter? All valid questions...

Got info from my dealer regard break-in period.
All M cars that got released from the factory are using totally different type of Oil compared to the one that is replaced on every scheduled maintenance period. That's why they have set 1200 miles services. |

For your information... This is what they do:
- Oil change in the engine - Software change allowing you to use burnout mode - General checking the car and seeing if they are any early problems with it Other than that nothing else. Transmission oil fluid is not replaced. MR |

The manual stated that differential fluid is changed. Is that true?

"The 1,200 mile service includes an oil and filter change, rear axle fluid change and software calibration to up rpm limiter and speed limiter. I did some checking and I have not been able to confirm that we can shut off the active sound through the factory diagnostic equipment, it might end having to be done with outside coding."

Just had mine performed today. Confirmed oil and diff fluid change. Also removed rpm limiter.

Nope. Their expert coder wasn't in. They said they would get back to me on Monday with a definitive answer. Also, asked them to check if the could code the backlight on. On the ASD I ordered a bypass cable. Should be here this week as its in transit via usps right now.

5500 before break-in. Not too hard to keep it below that. Also, you are to keep the top speed below 106. On a 1000 trip back from Spartanburg on some country roads in the Midwest that required some restraint (see the pleasant sheriff I met in the picture).

Just completed mine 1200 service this morning.
They have put 0w-30 oil as its seems to be better for the first oil change but also 5w-30 is fine and I will look to put it after my first track day. The car is pulling the same as before, and I'm very easily losing traction even in 3rd gear. So guys, just push it 80% hard and you shouldn't have any issue. |

What does your receipt say about the limiter coding? Mine doesn't really say anything but I know there is no limit considering it shifts at 7300 rpms.

So it's just coding and not an ECU refashion, right? I've got an ASD bypass harness and my rear view mirror is disconnected at present and this makes me nervous: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1260271.

Oil (0w-30) and rear diff fluid change. They also turned on the launch mode and did a general vehicle check.

Yep, oil and diff fluid on a DCT. Resetting the maintenance indicator enables launch control and smokey burnout (no coding, no ECU reflash). "Vehicle safety check" failed to notice that my mirror was completely non-functional.
Here's the full list of activities done during the running-in check: Last edited by Kantalias; 05-14-2016 at 08:01 PM.. |
