To ensure that your vehicle provides

maximum economy throughout a long

service life, we request that you

observe the following suggestions.

Because of its engineering design,

the BMW M3 convertible is an

especially high-quality vehicle. It is in

your best interest to follow the break-in

tips very closely. Doing this, you will

create the basis for a long, optimum

service life.<

Engine and differential

> Up to 1,200 miles (2,000 km): drive at

varying engine and road speeds, but

do not exceed the following engine or

road speeds:

5,500 rpm or 105 mph (170 km/h)

Obey your local and state maximum

speed limits.

Do not depress the accelerator pedal to

the full-throttle position.

Vehicles with SMG II

* (refer to

page 64): refrain from using driving

program 6 in the sequential mode

during the break-in period.

> Following the break-in inspection at

1,200 miles (2,000 km), you can

gradually increase engine or road

speeds.

Follow the same break-in procedure if

either the engine or the differential is

replaced in the future.

Tires

Due to technical factors associated

with their manufacture, tires do not

achieve their full traction potential until

an initial break-in period has elapsed.

Thus drive with extra care during the

initial 200 miles (300 km).

Obey your local and state maximum

speed limits.

When the vehicle is operated on

wet or slushy roads, a wedge of

water may form between the tire and

the road surface. This phenomenon is

referred to as aquaplaning, or hydro-

planing, and can lead to partial or

complete loss of traction, vehicle

control and braking effectiveness.

Reduce your speed on wet roads.<

Brake system

Approx. 300 miles (500 km) must elapse

before the brake pads and rotors

achieve the optimal pad-surface and

wear patterns required for trouble-free

operation and long service life later on.

To break-in the separate parking brake

drums, apply the parking brake lightly

when coasting to a standstill (at a traffic

signal, for instance), provided that

traffic conditions permit to do so.

To avoid corrosion, repeat this proce-

dure from time to time.

The brake lamps do not come on

when the parking brake is

engaged.

Vacuum for the brake system servo unit

on your BMW is available only when the

engine is running. When you move the

vehicle with the engine off – when

towing, for example – substantially

higher levels of pedal force will be

required to brake the vehicle.<

Clutch

The clutch will also begin to function

optimally after about 300 miles

(500 km). Drive cautiously during this

break-in period and do not press the

clutch or shift at high engine speeds.
