Well, thanks to all the good advice and research about the v8's and e34 I bought a '95 530iA with a newly rebuit eng/head and want some advice about breaking-in the new engine. Any advice/ref info. on break-in for a fresh rebuild on a BMW engine?
So gentle drive habits for a couple thousand, huh? I expect highway passing(kickdown) is not preferred or minimize that kinda loading? What about oil change intervals for the first few thousand...any comments on weight & period?
Its ok to rev :devil You just dont want to seat your valves at 6000 RPM :nono Quick shots of throttle ARE ok. The engine should just spend most of its time in normal driving RPMs so all your clearences are set correctlly.
I suggest changing after the first 1000 Miles, and then 3000, followed by 5000 from there on out. That motor is built for it. (why do you think it takes 8 quarts? )
