I ordered a F10 550i for European delivery (July 7th 11:20am pickup at the Welt. The main reason for ED is to drive on the Autobahn at 155 mph without going to jail; it's been on my bucket list for awhile.
Question: Is it ok to drive the car at this speed or do I have to break-in the car first?
Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't! If this is my car I would put on it at least 800 km to 1000 km to break-in before driving it at higher speeds.
IMO.

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
I still say 2,000 km's.
Especially the first 500 km's needs to be driven in low speeds and revs,
so the engine, gearbox, brakes and the tires will be properly braked-in.
