[QUOTE="oldbmwfan, post: 15695696, member: 182294"] Not sure, but my anecdotal evidence is zero oil consumption in 3200 miles (first oil change at 1400 miles). I pulled a few tablespoons into the passenger side separator on track, but not enough to show low on the dipstick. No consumption and no oil in the separators under normal driving. I like to think I broke it in well, but I just did what I'd do with any street car: brief full-throttle bursts at lower RPM to seat the rings without building up too much heat, gradually increasing the rev range used over the first ~600 miles, and no extended high-RPM runs for the first ~1k miles, then some HARD running, then an oil change. I think babying a performance car during break-in is a mistake, but high RPM with no load or high RPM under load for extended time periods is also a mistake. [/QUOTE]
