Special operating instructions

Break-in procedures

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 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 1,250 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 Drivelogic, refer to

page 67: refrain from using driving pro-

gram 6 in the sequential mode during

the break-in period.

> Following the break-in inspection at

1,250 miles/2,000 km, you can grad-

ually increase engine or road speeds.

Follow the same break-in procedure if

either the engine or the differential

should have to be 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 hydroplaning, and can

lead to partial or complete loss of trac-

tion, as well as loss of 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 traf-

fic signal, for instance – use caution to

avoid posing a danger to other road

users.

To avoid corrosion, repeat this proce-

dure from time to time.

The brake lamps do not come on

when the parking brake is set.

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 tow-

ing, 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.
