Breaking in 2013 x3 28i
Hi guys,
I'm new to the forums. I do read alot when I had my old 5 series, but now that I got my wife a new x3 28i (taking delivery next week, and the salesperson gave me a loaner 2013 335 xdrive for the time being) I just want to know the proper way of breaking the car in. She will be driving it basically 90% of the time so I want to make sure it's done properly. What do you guys suggest? I'll also be changing the oil in the car every 8000-10000 kms (5k to 6k miles) Thank you. |

Break-in is simple and in the Owner's Manual, which you can dowload from BMW web site. Here's the section from my Owner's Manual:
Breaking-in period General information Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to each other. The following instructions will help achieve a long vehicle life and good economy. Engine and differential Always obey the official speed limit. Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km Do not exceed the maximum engine and road speed: * For gasoline engine, 4,500 rpm and 100 mph/160 km/h. Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the transmission's kickdown mode for the initial miles. From 1,200 miles/2,000 km The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be increased. Tires Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full traction potential until after an initial breaking-in period. Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km. Brake system Brakes require an initial break-in period of approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized contact and wear patterns between brake pads and discs. Drive moderately during this break-in period. Following part replacement The same breaking in procedures should be observed vehicle's operating life.
if any of the components mentioned above have to be renewed in the course of the
