Break in period boring? how bout some music

chicagobimmerboy · 03-08-2008, 05:19 PM

I dont quite recall how long the break in on an M3 is (my guess is 1200 miles?) but since you really cant make the engine do anything exciting, how bout some tunes? when I picked up my GT I was told I couldnt be aggressive with it for about 1000 miles so I just popped some CD's in and enjoyed the ride. So what music would you listen to?

rzm3 · 03-08-2008, 06:29 PM

break-in is the foreplay before the 8400 rpm climax.

rai · 03-08-2008, 07:01 PM

I'd go for some Floyd

nusevad · 03-08-2008, 07:07 PM

Hip-hop, R&B, and techno for me.

malter2.0 · 03-08-2008, 07:16 PM

something along these lines...

or anything from tiesto

lucid · 03-08-2008, 07:18 PM

The engine.

911 Now · 03-08-2008, 07:30 PM

This car requires Metal or Hard Rock. LOUD.

AwesomeM3 · 03-08-2008, 07:36 PM

Linkin Park!

gblansten · 03-08-2008, 07:52 PM

There will be no break-in period for my M3.

eclipsisNA · 03-08-2008, 08:26 PM

This was the first song I played in the new car:

2Pac - Fuckin' With Tha Wrong *****

mhutchins14 · 03-08-2008, 09:06 PM

All of the above. But I have a tradition and in each of my last few cars, the first song I've listened to was Red Barchetta by Rush.

M2381 · 03-08-2008, 09:11 PM

Def something rap/hip hop

Help me decide what song?

Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode for me

monsta · 03-08-2008, 09:58 PM

Merengue, Bachata, Salsa, Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Alternative, Rock

GregW / Oregon · 03-08-2008, 09:59 PM

I'm all over the map. All of the above!

BCMPOWER · 03-08-2008, 11:38 PM

Def the dance and techno, but is it just me or does that music just want to make you drive faster, may not be good for break in! So I am going to keep it off and listen to the sweet sound of the motor. Why's jazz not on the list? Candy Dulfur, Richard Elliot are also good driving music.

GregW / Oregon · 03-08-2008, 11:45 PM

Radar Love by Golden Earring (1973) is my favorite trip driving song, but it's too short.

skierman64 · 03-09-2008, 12:06 AM

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed this poll would have turned out this way at all. Interesting poll.

Depeche Mode is great driving music

Terrance28 · 03-09-2008, 12:29 AM

I would say hip hop. If you can't go fast might as well look and sound cool going slow.

What about this, even the title fits for the first drive in an M3:

My favourite first song in car:
