Break-in period rather easy? (gigantic torque...)

OK, so just wanted to share this good thing for a change...

The official break-in period suggests keeping the RPM below 4500. "OK, I'll do my best", I thought...

Well....

Why on earth go above it? My 535i has sooo much go before it even hits 4000, sometimes it feels like I have a diesel? So far, I've pushed the gas half-way to receive a gigantic torque that quickly gets me into vehicle impounding territory (50km/h above speed limit). It really feels like I could hardly use RPM above 4500 at all! This really makes it for an easy break-in as I'll usually drive it this way for years to come. And I'm not a Sunday driver... (Did 180km/h on hwy today).

Anyone equally suffered through the break-in period?

With any luck, I'll let you know next week.

OK, definitely a good choice of an engine.... I am sooo happy I've gone with the extra power. Just hope it won't get me arrested

.

On the autobahn, I was going 155 mph and the car was way under 4500 rpm.

I suffered worse.

While on ED, I kept it under 4500 RPM while I kept it at 130MPH.

push the pedal down more. you will like what happens there. Play with the manual shift mode to keep those RPMs up there. You might not know what your car sounds like.

I will, it's only got 400 KM on the clock so far. Today I did briefly got it to about 5200 RPM so I hope this does not mess up my break-in... I doubt it. Only for split second... (showing off to my neighbour in the shotgun LOL).
