1,200 Break In Service
Confirming it's alright to redline the car and drive it to the fullest after 1,200 miles, even while I'm waiting for the actual service to be performed (next week)?

I would wait until the service... they want to change the fluids for a reason.
Probably to remove any particles suspended in the fluids from breaking-in the engine and differential. |

The Performance Restriction Unit prevents this. It is impossible drive your car to its fullest while the PRU is engaged. This is known to engineers as "breakin PRUning".
This is why everyone feels such a huge increase in performance after their 1200 mile service. |

Definitely wait until after the service. You want fresh oil and diff fluid before you go at it.

Defo wait for new fluids. But if you follow the book it says to build up to full revs etc.
PRU? WTF, are you kidding? There is no programming at run in. None. 45 minutes engine and diff oil change that's it. |

My Garage account online shows icons that my car needs front/rear pads, oil change, etc.... Everything is fine on the cars check readout other than my 1200 is coming up. Dealer checked into this and there is a online computer error at BMW"s Tele service site. Just a FYI if you log into your "mygarage" account and see this.

Not all right. The oils have extra amounts of metallic particulates from break in. You should get fresh fluids first.

By 1200 miles, there is absolutely no more FUX to be given, so those YOBs should be completely free to Hoon. Last edited by silverds; 08-10-2019 at 07:30 PM.. |

I just had the break-in service done 300 miles ago.
After the service, more power was definitely released. By my right foot. |
