F10 M5 is finally here!! pre running in service questions..

[playNskillz]

Hi Guys,

The M5 came this week happy with it! Will post a full comparison when I get a chance between this and the E60 M5.

I had a coupe of questions regarding the car pre running in service;

Only covered 200miles..

Brakes squeak really loud is this normal?

Is the power restricted until the running in service is done?

The brakes need to be used to break them in....squealing should not be a problem.

Power is not restricted to begin with.

Take it for a run to the other end of the country and back....get the 1200 miles out of the way.....and hang on for dear life when you gun it thereafter.....it really does rev for a turbo and offers a lot at the top end....most people change up too early and miss out!!

Photos??

I'm in love with the pops and bangs it makes!!!

Will upload some once I've taken some decent ones. I've gone all black everything Saphire Black on Black Wheels and Black interior.

The shift between 2nd and 3rd is amazing sound wise. What's the best setting to have it when changing gears S2 or S3? I want more pops and bangs lol

The power gauge on the idrive system is amazing. Shows the bhp and torque!!

My brakes squeal from time to time but the majority of my driving is in stop start traffic. Doesn't bother me too much.

Love the pops and bangs too! Although seem to happen randomly would love to know how to make them a permanent fixture.

I would love to know too...

Hi Guys, had my running service no issues apart from the brakes squeeking ok every journey!!! As soon as they get hot they squeak every time I brake so annoying. BMW said they took them off cleaned them and re greased them apparently. Which hasn't made any difference. They said this is the guidance from BMW as the first stage. If still only done just over 1400 miles. Is there a defect with the brakes? I've never had squeeking on new brakes on any of my cars or any of my M cars.

Should I push for new brakes from them? Getting even a phone back from Sytner BMW is hassle in itself.

There is a service information bulletin on M5/M6 squealing brakes in the USA, SIB 34 06 14, something about balance weights on the pads.

Thanks would this apply to the UK models? Are they all made in Germany? How do I bring this to the attention of my dealer?

Sytner finally phones me back after I gave them the fix code. Apparently they did this recommended fix on the brakes when it was in last week. Still the same still squeeking. They tried to fob me off and say that they are best brakes around etc and they are performance brakes and they will squeek! Wth! Never heard so much BS in my life. Never have I is squeeking from any of my M cars!!
