Anyone doing engine "break in" on their s28i?

Probably closer to 1%. It's a decent sample size but not demographic.

You can't avoid it at certain times.

Sometimes you need to rev it to avoid an accident such as merging etc. You may also need to pass someone and exceed the 80 mph limit.

My guess is many many on the lot models have...

I read mine thoroughly and nothing in it stated that they are allowed to access that data without my consent.

Legally your warranty cannot be voided based on black box data.

If a dealer tells you otherwise...lawyer up.

For those trying to break in on a highway road trip...

Use the manual shift mode and change the gears frequently. Vary gears based on speed to keep rpms below 4k.

My new X1 2014 x28 - Few questions

Looks like none of the above. It's a nicely equipped X1 for sure just not a specific "line".

Tailgate, how do YOU close it?

Actually you don't need soap and water.

Ever heard of waterless car wash?

If you can't verify the scratches exist then they don't...or do they? I will let Schrödinger explain that one to...

Are you serious? How hard do you grind your hand and swirl it around when closing the tail gate?

My new X1 2014 x28 - Few questions

You can start the car normally. You just move the shifter over to the left. The middle instrument cluster should now say DS instead of D.

I don't know if servo can be added after the fact. My...

You can get better status updates regarding progress from your CA as well. They see more info, ship names for example.

I'd be surprised if it is available in Europe but they do typically get much more options than we do.

I wouldn't pick a phone based on iDrive. I would pick the phone you like most.

New vs Used

I'm always concerned with how used cars were driven during the break in period. Loaners are treated like **** so be careful. There is probably more wear on the engine than the mileage would suggest. ...
