Why do they even put the "Change Manual Transmission Oil" on there?

Because there are other M models on the right side of the M2/3/4 column in the table that get the gearbox oil change. M5 and M6 I think.

Nice I wish I had this list when I took my M2 in for the break in service. The "Deactivate running in check" was the most interesting explanation I got from the BMW genius at my dealer.

I'd still like to know in English what "Deactivate running in check" actually means.

Is the running-in service at 1200 miles something you just keep track of or do you get some kind of indication on the display(s), even if only on start up?

If there is an indication of some kind, maybe 'deactivate running in check' just means resetting it and making sure it doesn't come back on...

Your iDrive screen has an indicator on it - that is there from the day you pick up the car until they tell the car the 1,200 mile inspection has been done. I never noticed it, my dealer pointed it out to me.

Break in question

I am taking delivery of my M2c at the Spartanburg Performance Center in two weeks. I logged into my car and see that it has 13 miles on it. That seems high. I am not worried about the miles, but is there any way to have confidence that someone in the process was not hooning around in it tapping the rev limiter during break-in? I plan to keep this car a long time and want to break it in the right way.

No

However, only BMW employees or BMW contractors have touched your car since it arrived in SC. And I bet there are cameras everywhere down there.

So.. if some yahoo beat the crap out of your car,he or she was probably fired.

Does that help you feel better?

For what it's worth I picked up mine down there an it had 11 miles on it.

Those of you with M2C should make sure they are bleeding the intercooler reservoir. That is an S55 thing. It would not surprise me if that gets missed or confused.

I don't think that is done by the dealer?

Does anyone have a copy of a repair order for this service? I brought in my M2C today and the parts list seems to only include the things related to an oil change. Nothing for the rear diff and certainly no mention of bleeding the reservoir.
