Picking up my R36 wagon on Saturday morning and have read a few differing points of view on engine break in tactics.

One I read on the web pointed to the main thing being to load the engine by opening the throttle hard in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. The best method is to alternate between short bursts of hard acceleration and deceleration. All ofthis done after allowing the engine to warm up properly.

Was interested in others points of view on this although one thing was quite clear in all material viewed...the owners manual instructions to take it easy for the first 1000km's would not be the best way to run in the engine.
