I remember when I had to go through thhat but nothing stopped me from stepping on my baby. On the way home from the dealer I revved it all the way till I was hitting 140mph and then took it easy on the engine

That's because our cars have no torque under 3000 rpm hahaha.

if you car was test driven before you bought it , not telling how many people drove it hard - I know my test drive was scary for the salesman.

My car had 0.9 miles on it when I first touched it . . .

Yeah, I wouldn't ever take a car that had been test driven before, especially nicer cars. I read a while ago about salesmen in the US racing new GTRs before selling them!

As for the G, I also remember how hard it is not going past 4000 rpm on my 09 (I did redline it a couple of times before break-in), but I'm sticking to it as I just got a 2010. I don't really mind the lack of low end torque (relative) to be honest. It's irritating when the 335i guys flaunt their 300 ftlb at 1400 rpm, but we have a naturally aspirated engine, and that's just how it is. I like how linear our engines are though. The power at higher rpms and the sound is awesome.

7500 rpm only, right off the dealer's lot, red line'd it all the way home

LOL "whimper." Yurp, mine saw 4k+ before it was fully broken in too oh well...some tear downs have shown it to be better for the motor

If you want those rings to sit good, you need to redline that bad boy every now and then.

I test drove a 2011 a couple of weeks ago. I actually requested to the salesman to drive one of the used ones so that I could push the car. I didn't want to abuse a new car out of respect for the car and the next owner. He said "it didn't matter, the engine was already broken in by the factory when they ran it for 15 miles",

I had approximately 700 miles on it. And yes it was brand new, well at least with a brand new price on it . It's at 70K miles now and havent' given me any grief at all. Where as, some cars like yours with minimal miles had problems. I'm not saying yours will, but I've heard stories on here. Go figure???
