2021 X6MC break in service
Just got back from the break in service and I think the exhaust sounds better! Maybe I'm just tripping!
Anyone else have this experience? Can't wait to get me some LC this weekend. Woohoooo!

What is the distance for the break in service?
I read that several times but I really wonder if the car does sound better. Did you service it or does it make a better sound just after driving that distance on its own? |

You're supposed to have a BMW service appointment around 1200 miles. Car just seems sportier.

I just had my 1200 mi service and, to me, the car sounds about the same :
It feels a little quicker though.

I cant see that there's anything special in the break-in check, other than maybe an oil change and a physical engine once over. I doubt they unlock some hidden horse powers, I know as with all my past aftermarket exhaust's, they take about 1,500-2000kms to break-in and start sounding real good.

Just had my break-in service and the tech told me a different type of oil is used. The car comes from the factory with a thicker type of oil which helps catch the metal shavings that tend to fall off during the initial 1200 miles; they switch us over to a thinner type of oil during and after break in service which *could* make it feel like the car runs faster (whether it actually does I'm not sure).

So I need to find my work order but this list is basically what they did with mine during break in service.
Engine Oil (M's have breakin oil from factor) Diff oils replace & inspection Fluid level check (coolant, brake, washer) Software check and update (as needed) & Of coarse your typical muilti point check. That being said I swore I felt the throttle was a bit more sensitive, as if I put it into M1 with D1 to a D2.... Butt in seat feel was notice able to me but I could simply be the fact I felt better going deeper into the throttle itself.

When I received in my F10 M5 Comp after it's break-in service, my SA mentioned that the service also wakes up engine power to its max.

My sales advisor claims that the car is delivered at 85 % of its power output and that at the break-in service they unlock the remaining 15%. Does anyone know whether this is sales hype or real?

Or go straight to a dyno when you get it and back when you do first service. I think for the most part everyone follow's BMW's direction on break in.... so when you get service completed and get to lay into it for the first time it could all be in your head... LOL the mystery lives on!!!!

hammerdown - i think you are spot on.
the sales reps told me the same thing, the service advisor had no idea. Reps said you get more power post 1200 mile break in. Service advisor just looked at me like a had a third arm growing from my head. either way... the car is amazing and seems quicker! |

Took delivery of my X6 M yesterday and I am already looking for excuses to put miles on the car to get past the break-in service. I pressed my salesman on the “they unlock the full power of the car after break-in issue” and he simply shrugged his shoulders. It does sound like an excuse they use to make you feel better about buying a car on the lot that has been thrashed repeatedly during test drives.
