Manual says to limit top speed to 106mph also, but I accidentally reached 120mph 10 minutes from the dealer parking lot. http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1462094 |

I think if it was a big deal, BMW would've set a rev limiter that the dealer would need to remove after 1200 miles. They already don't give launch control until your 1200 mile service, so why not do a rev limiter too?
Anyway, my point is try to be easy on the car, but don't worry if you go over 5500 by accident. If it was such a big deal, BMW would've put a rev limiter on the car until break in was over. |

I'm also nearly to 1200mi, and I've been guilty of going over 5k a few times. None on purpose, mostly beginner manual mistakes. Accidentally revving with the clutch in, most of them.

Imagine how many times a brand new M2 at the dealership goes above 6k on a test drive. It'll be totally fine. |

Took mine on a track with under 1k miles on it.... I wouldn't worry too much. What is WOT? I probably did that too.... just done another hard trackday reving all the way out and pushing it really hard, checked oil on returning home. Zero oil used. I wouldnt worry, just enjoy the damn thing!

So, considering it was a track day, yeah, you probably did that quite a bit. |

I believe the break-in service isn't just about the engine. It's also about breaking in the differential and other components of the car working together. And while it may not be a big deal to go over the 5k limit or other guidelines, we probably shouldn't dismiss it either. They exist for a reason, after all.

Nothing to worry about.
I did hit few times over 5500 rpm, just dont go crazy WOT when engine temp is low. It is important that you vary your RPM and speed try avoid long freeway running. Dont track as that will give much stress on non broken-in LSD which is as refined as the engine and require longer time to settle than engine does. If you are much worried still, you can make editional oil change before break-in service. |

Also, I drive the M2 the same from Day 1.. never really pay much attention to the RPM, as long as the oil temp is up, all should be good. Just enjoy the ride, and as was previously posted, the motor is red lined several times at the factory. |

I always change oil before the first 1000km, then i let the engine warm up before i hoon it and never had a second thought about the 2000km 14020402km 123232km or whatever people come up with. i have never had a problem with any of my cars(and there have been lots of them)... I think you will be fine.
Don't overthink ;=() |

I know there's many theories on how to break-in an engine, I followed my own process and it wasn't taking it easy that's for sure. You car will be fine, enjoy the ride. |

Any potential negative effects would likely only show in the long run. You can compare it a bit with new brake pads, running on old discs. The pad will have more friction at some diameter positions of the disc, as pad and disc don't wear perfectly even across the surface. If you brake too hard, you will have excessive temperatures at certain araes of the pad and disc, which can change the material characteristics in those areas. The break-in of an engine is there to avoid excessive friction and match the surface of the piston rings to the cylinder walls over time. The 5,500 rpm limit is a recommendation, I doubt there is any harm if you went over the one or the other time. |
