Reduced power in before run in service

Featured Replies

Hi all

I wondered if someone could clear up a fact for me please .

I purchased a new X4M competition a month ago 

every time I start the car it say on the driver display , full power coming soon.

Its going in for its run in service on Saturday 

It doesn’t feel like it’s giving full power 

Will the dealers up date power train software at the time of service so it has full power .

Ive been on a lot forums and some people are saying there is no difference in power after the service and other are saying more power 

Can someone in the know clear this fact up for me please 

Cheers

Hello Mark and Dave

Yes, part of the work at the running-in service, at 1200 miles, is to remove the running-in spec oil (which apparently smells different to 'normal' oil) and amend the ECU to allow 'full' power.

There are several videos on Youtube etc with these details.

I hope this helps,

Orchpot
