How is WOT after 600 miles? I got close to that pulling in 4th and now I’m worried I messed it up lol. It was brief.

I mean, as long as you're not hitting the red line, although it does say explicitly not to go full throttle. I would just hold off until 1200 miles then after the service, warm up the motor and send it.

You’ll be happy to know mine still works just fine. 3rd gear in the upper rpm’s pulls like a MF. |

Ever since 600 miles I’ve been trying to really give her beans whilst not launching much and staying within break in parameters. I figure she needs more heat cycles since I really babied her up until 600 miles. I did take a Supra from rolling 2nd gear to gapplebeas hours ago. My break in service is Friday. |

What’s the problem with service over 1200 miles? Just a fact of life I can’t be that precise with being at what someone mentioned + or - 50. I’m at 1425 and have service scheduled Wednesday.

IMO engine is done breaking around 600-900. 1200 is just to make sure so bmw can save money on warranty claims. Anything past 1200 without liquid replace is not the best in the engine. |

For the majority of car owners the engine in 40 hours of run time has been subjected to a (good enough) mix of driving to have the break in advanced enough there has been some degradation to the oil. Yet the oil (and filter) still have some margin. But one can't know for sure how advanced break in is. (Lab and field tests have found break in continues for some considerable number of miles beyond the nominal break in miles.) Still having the run in service done at or close to 1200 miles is best. And while I have not found anything official on this if there is some factory recognized range of miles to have the running in service done to stay within that range. Might add my SOP is to have the engine oil/filter service done -- on my own dime -- at around 600 miles then have the oil/filter service done at the end of break in, again on my own dime, unless this is part of any free service -- and the M2 is the only car I have owned that the factory covers an end of break in, a running in, service under warranty. Have done this for a number of cars/vehicles over the years including my M2. Will do it for my 2024 230i xDrive. |

I haven’t read about too many folks going beyond the 1200 miles so I’m just wondering if there are any headaches I can expect to deal with. |

Dealership did my break-in at 1,000 miles and it’s been fine.

I feel like this is a pretty big deal - there was no dealership available to me last week, so I’ll likely end up having around 1300 miles when I bring it in on Tuesday. To have a car lose its CPO status because of that is crazy

I asked my Serv. Director about this. He said...basically, stay real close to that 1,200 miles...meaning by not going over much at all. It goes on record and thus affect the car later with value, proper upkeep by owner, etc, etc.
He never mentioned anything about how soon "before" the 1,200 mile mark it can be done. I will ask him this coming week. My best "car guy" thought would be that 1,300 is enough. I wouldn't push it past that. IMHO. |

Well it feels kinda shitty that I tried the last 2 weeks to schedule the service at my local dealers, but they were not available the days I was. The soonest I could get in is Tuesday, but I need to drive my car to work tomorrow.
So am I losing value on my car by driving it to work since the two local dealers were too busy? |

Is this the actual final answer? Straight from BMW? Some dealers say no later than 1,400mi (the 2 local to me both said 1,400mi max before losing CPO eligibility.) Be nice to actually know the real answer.

Yeah 100%. I will get in there with around 1325 miles tomorrow, and I’ll be sure to ask them.

I got the service done, there was nothing said about it being too late or no longer qualifying for CPO/extended warranties. I was right at 1325.
