StatenEye · 07-03-2009, 09:01 AM

I just picked up an e92 black fully loaded 335i, i am wondering when it is ok to install the SSTT? Should i break the car in or is it ok to install righ away?

yeah, wait 500 to 1000 miles and then install it.

Thanks guys....So 500 to 1000 miles is considered broken in? I figured i should wait, i am smelling a plastic burning smell from the exhaust is that normal?

I would take it somewhat easy for about 400 miles,to break in the drivetrain a little,the brakes,etc.Then i would start to drive it with some spirit for another 1-150 miles,then install the SSTT and let it rip.

sweet ride! I wish I had that shadowline trim!

Thanks, i was thinking of the X5 but when i came across this i couldn't pass it up. I have been making this car on bmwusa.com "build your own" for the past 2 years exactly this model. No way i could pass it up lol.
