They are not!... When My 2022 M4 had the first service, I wasn't allowed to view the service. I live in Southern California, and it would be great to have Andy complete the 2nd service.
Just watched a more recent video of this same service by a different tech at different dealer and they said taking the vehicle out of break in period mode does unlock the full power of the car.
Just received a '23 m340i and there's no break-in service, was thinking of getting it done early but do you think I need to change my diff fluid and everything or just the engine oil?
Shouldn't the coolant be drained as it does run through the cylinder head and so on. Wouldn't they be break in dust/dirt/or metal shavings from there?.
Most people treat their cars like shit when they think it's the most reliable thing in the world. But your break in oil changes are the most important oil changes you can do in your car. Especially when you have a limited slip diff like this M3 he's working on does, you saw how nasty the oil gets, very important to get that stuff changed out.
I'm impressed on how thoughtful and professional the tech was. I'm guessing they're not all that way. Especially when a camera isn't running.

Thats what I call a BMW technician! 💪🏻
I was thinking the same thing.
Give this guy more videos with DIY info for the G8X cars, this is great.
1000 miles and coolant was low... Great.
They come low from factory.
My M3 looks exactly like this one. Just picked it up today.
Congrats!

Just picked up my 2023 M2 was cool to see the service routine thanks
Andy is a very professional guy. Highly recommend it!

It needs to be an M car. A M340i is not an M car.
Does this apply to the X3 M40i? If not, why? Also, why would you not do a drain and fill on the transmission too?
0W-30 in a S-engine? Back in the day on the e46 m3 they recommended 10w-60
Very informative. Thanks!
Can’t wait to see how much my dealer charges me for this service on my M3 😂
Very nice video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. 👍
The biggest fail design is the oil filter location. Compared to both E93 and F80 that I had this is the hardest.
Exactly. My F-Type and my son's WRX both have oil filters right up top at the front of the engine.
Excellent video, clear and concise.
Thank you for this video, I just purchased a 2023 X3M Comp.
Hope you enjoy it!
What a handsome man….😅

What about X3M...same break in service?
wonderful thanks
Amazing video brother
I did my break in on my G80 at 900-miles.
Why this early...just wait 1200
Super informative video
But did he lubricate the seal on the oilfilter?
I didn't see him do it. I can't say that it's going to cause a failure, but it's generally considered a best practice.
Very interesting.
Why doesn't Toyota have these issues?
Cause doesn't have the power
What issues?
Well, you cannot compare a shit box with ultimate driving machine right!

Hey, clear up a myth. Is addition power or rev range unlocked after the 1200 mile service?
This is addressed in the first 2 minutes of the video...
No. BMW doesn't limit revs or power. It's up to you if you want to do the break in correctly so you don't fck up the engine down the road
