Early Break In Service
I put 400 miles on my car on ED. The car arrived at the dealer, and they are wanting to do the service, just because the iDrive is saying it's due... I don't know how I feel about this... thoughts?

Agree. Get it as close to 1200 miles
to make sure you get as much break in as you can. |

My dealer pretty much told me to wait until I hit 1200 to do the service, so I echo what others are saying. I ended up doing it just below that threshold, as I was at 1190 or so miles and it fit my schedule to do it at that time.

Any time between 1000 and 1400 miles is likely to be fine. 400 miles...no. Strange that iDrive is calling for it, but the dealer should know better.

Hi guys, my question is similar: I am at 1850km and today I took the appointment for the final break-in check for the 4th of July. If I had to reach 2500km there is no problem, right? In the end it's just a little more break-in...

What’s the break in service cost? Is it just engine and diff oil change?
I’m looking at a few used M2C and one has 900 miles. Probably not serviced. And.... is there a rule the dealer has to do this. I have a great Indy shop and I also am a mechanic myself. Very easy job |

I just took delivery on mine and the yellow check engine light on the left side of the instrument panel was/is on at time of delivery. iDrive says to do 1,200 mile service. Dealer told me it stays on until you do 1,200 mile service. Wait for then. Enjoy the light!
