New Mini...Advice for breaking it in?
I'm expecting to pick up my '07 MC in the next week or two. I've had my current vehicle for over 10 years. I don't drive hard, not a speed demon...plan on keeping the Mini for awhile.
Any advice for breaking her in properly? If the timing is right, I have an opportunity to take her on vacation shortly after picking her up from the dealer...lots of interstate driving (I keep it around 70-75...the tickets were too expensive!). Too much too soon? Go for it?

I am driving like it's normal. I've got a little under 400 miles and have taken it to 4500 a couple times and once accidently to 5000rpm, but still under 100mph. It take a bit of effort to take it past 4500 if in normal driving conditions.
Seems to be breaking in just fine. MPG is around 30.5 with mixed driving. Still having lots of fun in all aspects of driving.

think about this as well, and its alluded to in the other thread, MINI tests their cars randomly they have to run those random cars harder than 4500 to really test anything. they do that themselves in the factory. do they void those warranties? what about the test driven cars that are driven hard? I know I drove mine hard. will the people buying those be buying a broken car from the dealer? I think it is a well built engine that doesnt need to be told when it can achieve its full potential
