Sorry, mine is a 545i Steptronic. Mine was 1200 miles that seemed to go by as fast as this car is on the Autobahn! :D

The best and most precise source for an answer to this question would be the manual bundled with your glove compartment ;)

In other words.. RTFM :thumbsup:

1200 miles / 2000 Km

1200 miles and you have to keep it under 3500rpm according to the hand book.

Oh, and as you can see from my previous post, I'm a newbie here. Be kind.

Where's my welcome, Iceman?

Also.... you are supposed to vary the speed during break-in too.

So don't use cruise control. On highways, try to vary the speed some.
