    Breaking in...

    What's the general consensus on how to break in my new 3 (picking up tonight, assuming it gets off the truck...)? How long, how hard, how soft, etc...

    burn rubber off the lot dude.....


    nah man jk i dont know if its changed but they told me to take it easy for 1000 miles and then to get the oil changed at the 1000 mile mark.
    According to my Anger Management Counselor, after 26 weeks of anger management class, I should be an expert when it comes to Anger Management...tell that to the guy who threw a starburst at my car in rush hour traffic...haha

    Rice is great if your really hungry and want to eat 2000 of something.

        They should tell you at the dealer... they told me don't rev over 4000 rpm for the first I think 700 miles, then I'd be good after that.

            damn...

            Well a proper break in is to keep the revs uner 400 for the first 1000km, then be nice to it for the first 5000. after that giv'er hell!
            When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

            With much too much boost,
            And drove a rod through his block.
