you download the manual for 550 yet? just search for break in or something like that or launch control (in which it will say something like don't use during break in period)

I believe that the break-in is not required for M5. I assumed that it also applied to M550i...

My bad...

Owner manual says 1,200 miles. It says don't push past 4,000 rpm for first 1,200 miles, do NOT slam the pedal all the way. I also think it states to not go over 90 MPH.

Once you hit 1,200 miles, you can slowly go higher with RPMS

After looking through the owner manual again on the M550, my numbers that I gave in the earlier post were off by a little bit.

Took a picture of it!

I think there's a misprint at the top of the page. it should say:

"Things to remember when financing, if leasing, skip to next section and have fun!"

I just brought it home. It is dark outside. I took this, not so good, pic at the dealership. Will try and get some good ones tomorrow.

I feel like a teenager all over again. I go check on my car multiple times a day. I find myself mesmerized by the beautiful beast. I have pushed it few times, keeping it under 4K rpm and it is exhilarating.
