You ragged on a brand new car that has a VERY STRICT 1200 mile break in period. I understand the issue, I'd be mad myself but my guy... they have a break in for a reason. People keep saying "you don't need to do the break in" and then this happens and they blame the manufacturer.

[@rufusKSMA]

@@Adamwarren27 I do not own a BMW, however, i have internet, and according to BMW you should not exceed 5500 RPM before 1200/200 km miles. Moreover, it is common knowledge that you should not floor a brand knew car (+ BMW says that you should avoid full load or kickdown), in order to be properly runed in, a car needs to be draven gently and the load should be slowle increased. Whatever the manufacturer says, my car was driven gently until I totaled more than 2000 km with it and it runs great. Looking back at alex's vidéos, he flored it numerous times. Maybe he did not exceeded thos 5500 RPM, but he certainly did pushed his engine to its limits (for a brand new one) that's why I'm not surprised at those reliability problems.

But keep going mate, sounds like its the dealer that has issues rather than BMW itself.

[@harrisonherring9194]

bmw need to figure it out - we had an X5M50d in to add a small module under the dashboard. we picked it up with a hole in the doorcard, a dent in the glovebox, and whilst they had coded in the thing they had added, they had left the heated steering wheel (from the factory) and the sat nav uncoded, thus non-funtional :( i call BS on them having to re-code the car just to remove a part of the engine though... probably broke something in the process and had to cover up...

Even to do the work, you have to remove the entire engine due to the location of the chain! Car was written off and scrapped.
