1200 mile service
Hoping to get a little clarification on the 1200 mile service.
Does the 1200 mile service unlock any performance? Is there a time to service if the 1200 miles crosses a 12 month period? Thanks for the help in advance

Yes and no. It doesn't unlock any performance but if you have followed the break in procedure and not had the RPM's above 5500. Once you go to 7k you will be very happy. This wasn't the case with the M2C. It had nothing above 5500.
ALSO IMPORTANT IMO: Once you've had the diff fluid replaced. Immediatly take the car to a large parking lot and drive around in 3 steering wheel locked circles. 3 to the left and 3 to the right. Get that new diff fluid in every nook and cranny.

There is nothing unlocked in terms of power / performance at 1200 miles for any BMW and never has been (I don't count LC as performance). |

Thank you to all who have chimed in on this topic.
Maybe the “performance unlock” that so many are told is nothing but just dealership misunderstanding because they get to “turn off” the break in service warning message and then somehow thinks the car is going to unleash more power from itself … In any case it’s good to know that motor oil/filter and rear diff fluid is replaced at 1200 miles or 1 year (I am not there in mileage but am almost there based on time).

So, the full power range is available from the moment you get the car. Its just either employees trying to make naive owners feel better about their car, or the honestly have no clue.

FWIW, I'm friends with my service manager and he was under the impression that there's a performance unlock.
He told me they connect their machines up to Germany corporate when they do the break-in services and they code in an updated ECU map. It felt stronger to me afterwards but could be bs, I dunno. I've also received a few CELs and have an appointment to drop it off soon. I'm assuming Germany will be interested in why my CS has thrown a CEL 3 times that then goes away, so I may prod them for more info if I get to talk to someone from Deutschland.
