Running-in - how serious?
Discussion
Just a thought here following hearing about the cars needing 1,000 miles of running in below 3/3.5k RPM depending where you read it….. how seriously does this need to be kept to do people think, and what would the consequences be of breaking it?
I say that as I took a dealer car out for a test drive recently, their demonstrator. It had 84 miles on it when I took it, 170 when I returned it. The car, erm… explored the upper end of the rev range several times during that period.
Realistically - any harm done?

Glad this sparked a bit of a conversation!
I'm in a similar boat to the poster above, my car was on 1,900 miles when bought as an ex-demo/Marketing car they have had at the dealer since new. Very glad to hear you're at 27k with no problem!
Interesting mix of opinion. Of course regardless of mileage/newness the comments about temperatures always ring true, and to that end worth noting that the demo I took out was thoroughly warmed up before I had some fun.
Fingers crossed for nothing adverse to come! Loving it so far.
