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

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

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.
