promo718 09-26-2006, 06:32 PM I'm about to take possession of my first ever new vehicle (jgc srt8, 07) and am considering doing a hard breakin: www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm Does anyone have any experience with this type of breakin? Advice? Thanks. GS Black_SRT8 09-26-2006, 06:35 PM Post three comments and save us the hassle. promo718 09-26-2006, 06:46 PM Done. As far as traditional easy breakins go, the technical reasoning for them can be found here: http://member.rivernet.com.au/btaylor/BMWText/technical/EngineBreakInPeriod.html radduc 09-26-2006, 07:02 PM Everything I have ever owned has been driven like it's stolen after the first 300 miles. NateO 09-27-2006, 08:22 AM I broke mine in running hard, from the get-go. I wasn't as scientific about it as this, but yeah, I gave the pedals a good stomping right out of the lot! No problems to date. I took the same advice a BMW dealer gave my old man many years ago when he bought a new bimmer, which was: "Give this thing hell right out of the lot. There's nothing worse than a BMW that's been broken in by Grandma." :D Time will tell, I guess... The old man's BMW never had any problems that I'm aware of, and he took the dealer's advice, too! :) | ||
