is it safe for to take off at 3500 rpm during breakin period. How far can we push it to? For me it easily goes of to 3000-3500rpm while takin off from the traffic lights, other wise it just seems so slow if you dont push it to atleast 3000.

Hey Rob,

Maybe you should let your friends drive your car (Just One Time), so they can experience the BMW experience.

BMW's are sports cars. Period.

MaTRiX: Assuming RPMs are the same here and in Canada, the instructions say not to exceed 4500, not 3500. It's not hard to exceed 4500; it's happened twice, completely by accident! It's up to you if you want to take them literaly. I was concerned because my auto had 10+ miles on it when delivered and the CA told me it was the factory, which I don't believe for a second. I've got no idea how it was driven, by the dealer, but not admitted to.
