Congratulations on your new BMW M2! It's important to properly break-in the engine to ensure smooth performance and long-term reliability. It's best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for break-in procedures. This usually involves avoiding high speeds and hard accelerations for the first 1,000 miles, changing the oil and filter at 1,200 miles, and gradually increasing the speed and load on the engine as it breaks in.
