330cic break-in
Driving an X-5 now, but picking up a 330cic in 3 weeks ED. Are there any limits that I should keep in mind during my initial travels in Germany and Switzerland. I'd hate to screw up the car before I even got it home. This site has really been helpful for an ED novice.
Thanks,
Fred

Thanks,
Fred | The offical guidance is under 80 mph, 4,000 rpms, for 1,200 miles. They will tell you that at the ED DC. There are some previous posts on differing opinions. Best of luck.

Picked up the same in April.
Official word (for me) from the ED centre was 4,000 rpm for 500 miles. No mention of the speed though - good job as 120mph is just a gnat's nadger over 4,000 (ZHP) as I can testify! You need to autobahn it, dude!

Folks,
The break-in is ONLY RPM-limited. It makes no sense to speed-limit it since you have gears in the car. Speed isn't necessarily indicative of engine RPM...if that makes any sort of fuzzy sense. I hope you get my drift...wasn't trying to be trite.
That said, I believe I hit 5k RPM a couple times...in 6th gear...speed was 152 mph!  Tough to resist on the silky-smooth autobahn....
