Is there a mpg limit on the freeway when the z4 is new
Hi All,
I remember other new cars I had, I was not supposed to drive over 65 mph within the first 5k miles. With our Z4, do we have a limit on how fast we could drive the car within certain new miles. I have hurt someone said I can't go over 80mph during the first 10k miles. Is that true? Or our Z4 has no restriction on it at all? Thanks, Phan |

from Page 112 of Owner's Manual for '11 35i
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 limits. Up to approx. 1,200 miles/2,000 km Drive at varying engine and road speeds but do not exceed: ▷ 4,500 rpm or 100 mph/160 km/h. Do not drive with full-throttle operation, and do not use the transmission's kickdown mode or Launch Control. 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 rotors. Drive cautiously during this break-in period. Clutch The clutch requires an initial break-in period of approx. 300 miles/500 km to function at an optimal level. During this break-in period, engage the clutch gently. Following part replacement The same breaking in procedures should be observed if any of the components mentioned above have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life.
