Today I pulled the trigger on a M3 Comp xDrive. Dealer requested a $5k deposit, I was able to talk them down to $2500. That feels like a win, as some other dealers I called wanted a 10% deposit. Once I have an official production status, I’ll update.
This is my 2nd BMW, I’m currently driving a 2023 X5 and that really gave me the BMW bug and sent me down the “rabid” hole 😂🤣😂.
They are saying this should hit production in December or January and be in around April. They actually delivered my X5 a few weeks early, on my first order, fingers crossed they are at least on time or early!
Let me know if you have any questions about specs or ordering process.
The break in period is mainly to seat the piston rings to your cylinder walls properly. In the engine the piston rings rub against your cylinder walls constantly, the tolerances are very tight.
Improper break in can mean the rings wear down too much and that tolerance widens up meaning that gasses can escape around the side of the cylinder and into the crankcase. Also on the flip side, oil can make its way into the combustion chamber easier causing excessive oil consumption.
