Break-in is RPM's and MPH, and the usual "vary your speed". It can be a bit of a challenge to keep your RPM's low in Sport+ (very sensitive throttle), but that's the only danger with it. It's not a bad thing to hold off on playing in Sport+ too much until you know the car, but you know you...so whatever works for your experience and style.
Don't worry OP...a Camry won't take you. Ever. |

BigKutta, you are from my hometown. I know exactly the dealer you picked up the M2C. I remember frequenting A&J's across the street a bunch.
You may see my brother's 991 GTS (Carmine Red) on the road once in a while. He takes the Clara Barton parkway frequently for thrill rides. Anyways, when you get past break-in, set to: -Sport+ throttle (of course) -MDM -Drivelogic setting (2 or 3 bars) for more aggressive shifts. Quoting this because I was not too familiar with Drivelogic myself, but you obviously may be: Posted in the F80 forum by ss134 : If you want to drive in a relaxed manner and want smooth , slower , relaxing gear changes set drive logic to 1 bar. If you want to drive in a spirited sporty way and want instant crisp shifts set to 2 bars. If you are feel like going balls to the wall and want thumping aggressive shifts set to 3 bars. I was feeling the same way as you initially, but after break-in, it will really open up as you put the more aggressive options on. I always drive in Sport+/Sport+ MDM, DriveLogic (usually 1 or 2). DriveLogic 3 I assume is more for track usage. I use Efficient throttle only if it is raining and during warm up. In the Las Vegas area, rain is the equivalent of black ice in MD. I actually never use Sport mode. Always Efficient or Sport+. The M2C has more power down low than my previous 981 GT4. Hopefully, after break-in you feel differently. I think you will at least somewhat. If that doesn't help, you can always do Launch Control after every red-light! Last edited by csbear; 01-12-2020 at 08:52 PM.. |

So, here is my setup: Cold car - Efficiency mode, Sport Steering, Drive logic set at 2 (I can's stand DL1...puts me in 7th at 35mph) Then I'll switch to Sport Mode for regular driving once the temp needle is up 1/3 (M1) - Sport, Sport Steering, Drive Logic set at D2. this is actually a good setup for spirited driving, without going too crazy I rarely put it in S+ yet, perhaps a few time just to get a thrill, but within the break-in parameters, so that really does nothing, so here is my setup (M2) - Sport +, Sport Steering, Drive Logic set to D3 (I'll switch to S3 after break-in). Can wait to do more of this after break-in service. I really hope the car is a bit different after break-in, even if for the placebo effect But so far I'm loving every minute behind the M! I'll keep an eye out for your brother's 991! |

Thanks for the insight. I've seen people say similar things, but this is great clarification. Thanks again!

She turned over 1000 yesterday. Getting better everyday, and I cant wait to go beyond 5500 rpm, just seems like so much more to be unleashed

Had a few spirited runs on Super Bowl Sunday as it was over 50 here. Can't wait for warmer weather and putting my summer tires back on |

Congratulations and very jealous - mines "Awaiting carrier assignment." Long Beach blue, manual, exec pkg.
What coping mechanism did you use to remain sober prior to arrival?

I called a couple of dealers who had the exact spec I wanted (HS, exec, DCT) and got a great deal so I jumped on it. You will get your at the perfect time - Spring. So these days when the roads are not good to drive the M2, or when I'm not driving it, I watch every damn youtube video on the M2. I swear I've watched every one because now I'm getting M2 videos in different languages I've reached the end of the internet. You can do the same. One thing is for certain, you will love the M2C. Its a blast!! I cant wait for the break in service |

Congrats!! I'm so jealous! I'm waiting for my dealership to secure mine and i find out today if they got it or not.
I LOVE the photos you took. The Hockenheim silver looks so freaking good. I used to think that it was just meh based on pictures but once i saw it in person at a dealership, i was amazed at how good it looked, and it was at night too!. I'm with you though, i dont think i've loved the design of a BMW this much before. I have always loved BMWs, the combination between sleek styling and sportiness has always been amazing, but this car just looks so aggressive and like nothing else on the road. |
