Is it necessary to break in a new BMW M3 before driving it hard?

I just purchased a brand new BMW M3 and wanted to know if there is a break-in period before I can drive it at high speeds and push its limits. Are there any tips I should know when breaking in my new car?

Yes, it is important to break in a new car before driving it hard. This allows the engine and other components to settle in and perform optimally. It is also recommended by BMW for the best long-term performance and reliability.

I suggest following the recommended break-in period in your owner's manual, which is typically the first 1,200 miles. During this period, avoid driving at a constant speed for long periods of time and avoid accelerating hard or braking abruptly.
