Every car manufacturer should just include that first 50-100 mile oil/filter change as part of their vehicle prep. It would make engine's last longer...well there ya go, just answered my question as to why they don't lol.
Hey that is good information to know. I get my car hopefully at the end of the month.

Maybe because it finally cooled down outside and I dont have to have the A/C on? I dont know.

When I think about it now, I have never owned a BRAND new car. They have all had at least a few thousands miles on them, sometimes more. So I have never had to deal with breaking one in. Not sure why but all of the sudden its much faster, and thats a good thing.
Not tiring to make fun but you need to drive your car don't be afraid of it.

LOL. I almost have as much as you X7 see pic.
