That works for some of us M2 owners.

No offense but is it just the peace of mind letting it rev to 5500+ that makes the difference, or is there a true remapping (I am assuming via dealer's software updates?) that affects its behavior throughout the rpm range? Can you give more details on the difference you are feeling? Can anyone else confirm that remap?

And to the OP, yes I do keep looking at my M2 after parking, usually as far away as possible from anyone else, so i do get a good look! After 6 months I still look at it. |

Thanks! It sure is nice to look forward to that commute home after a long day, even look forward to the morning commute in. Its that pesky work day in the middle that gets in the way! (but then, it pays for the car, so I guess I can live with it
It gets more fun with each passing day, as I get tuned in to the way the car handles, throttle response and shifting. It will sure be nice in the spring to not have 'break in period - be nice' lingering in the back of my mind whenever I want to goose it. |

Have no evidence of overboost or launch control (6 spd) but I know for a fact there were no rpm limits before break-in. I buried that tach a few times lol.

My tech advisor spun something about voiding the warranty if you go over 5500 rpm even once... I find that hard to believe

Very unlikely... as that would require the limitation to be clearly communicated during the purchase. I did not get any communication about break in procedure and limits - I had to research those myself. So I cannot see how they would be able to enforce that without communicating it to all owners.

That's crazy talk. Finished break in period in like 3 weeks, hit over 5500rpm 3 times and over 107mph 2 times. These cars are not made of glass.

Features that are "enabled" after the break-in: launch control, overboost, MDM (will depend on your transmission) The engine does not undergo a full remap - what I meant is that, in order to enable some of the above features, minor tweaks are done, which can be felt. The rpm limiter is not a hard-stop. You can rev it up all you want, but I found power to be lacking in that range compared to after break-in. Keeping it under 5,500 rpm is proper break-in procedure (should note a caveat here: BMW can refuse service and/or void warranty if you abuse the car during break-in. Very rare but it can happen). With regards to how the car responds, a big part of it is likely due to viscosity of rear diff fluid. There is a big jump between the break-in fluid and regular diff fluid viscosities, which probably make the car feel "snappier". Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion that I'm mostly responsible for haha |

Thanks for the clarification. But what's the difference with the MDM after break in? Thought it's already available (mine is a DCT).

I agree, the M2 is more a dick magnet rather than a chick magnet. Probably biased as there are in general more car guys than gals overall. I've noticed though that women in their 40's look at the car a lot more than younger gals.
