Does B58 have a "break in" period when new? Hi folks, Does it state anywhere in the owners book that it needs to be driven softly for the first 2000 mies? I came here to ask this as i heard some dude being afraid that he damaged the engine on his full M car due to pushing it from the first few miles.

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything specific, so I thought I'd give this a go. Basically, I've owned several cars from new, and have always changed the oil after the break-in period. Now, I know, some of you guys are probably going to say it's overkill, but for $70-$100 bucks, I'm.

The traditional period is 1000 miles Bad. If it's not broken in yet, you can damage it in the long term. However, many would argue 400miles is enough for a break in, but it sounds like you did those digs before it even hit 400 miles.

Very. I haven't heard of any real outstanding issues for the B58 yet that leaves people stranded.
