BMW M2 CS breaking-in service (2000km/1200miles) (VIDEO)

German YouTuber Matthias Malmedie (GRIP) completed the breaking-in period - in full accordance with the factory specifications - of a BMW M2 CS kindly offered by BMW M (by BMW M boss Markus Flasch personally - earlier 'taking delivery' video: see here).

In this video (33:05) he brings the car to a BMW dealership for the breaking-in service (2000km/1200miles).

12:25-19:45: BMW dealership sequence:
  • 12:25-12:39: interior protection
  • 14:19-15:00: engine oil release
  • 15:01-15:32: CF splitter check
  • 15:33-17:36: rear diff oil release
  • 17:37-18:20: rear diff oil refill
  • 18:27-18:52: engine oil refill
25:22-25:36: handsfree on the Autobahn
29:25-30-32: donuts & drifting

Conclusion: he's clearly 'over the ///Moon', loving the car to bits.

Lol, you funny.

I like that fluid transfer tool the BMW tech was using. Why hasn't that found its way into my life? Part #?

The video does not feature a close-up of the soaking wet driver's seat.

I've always wanted this one as well since it has an attachment for the BMW oil container. I've never been able to find it for purchase though.

A few things, I wish I knew what he was saying since it looks interesting. I would not dip my hand in any of those fluids / oils, they are a known carcinogen, use gloves!

I've never seen diff fluid like that? They are smiling so I assume it's all good. Then again I've never done the break in service myself. I do all the work after 50k

I thought it must be the "break in" lube and assembly grease. All that gets flushed out, then the normal stuff goes in. It didn't look like it would last very long. Very neat to see and demonstrates why the break-in period is necessary and the break-in service.
