2010 BMW 328

Brand new, automatic. Any issues auto-xing? IE: oiling, other?

Thanks, Mark

Thanks, Mark
You mean you JUST bought the car with less than 100 miles on it? You have to break-in the car (I believe it's like 1,200 miles or so and then change the oil again). And you have to keep the revs low, and alternate going high and low at an easy pace. The complete OPPOSITE of auto-x conditions. Unless the car has been already broken-in (in terms of the engine), I'd say hold off.

You mean besides it's heavy, soft and an automatic? :) I took two runs in my E46 and decided it wasn't enough fun to do it again...

Tom Tanquary and I had a blast in his wife's E46 automatic sedan at a couple events. That thing on 2+ year old 710s was shockingly quick.

The wifey is thrashing on a '10 328 coupe while her 335 is in for service.

Hmm, you think 710's would have been better than the OE 80,000 mile Michelins that were on my car? :lol:
