Hi all
I had received my new BMW X1. What a great start of the new year! Very happey so far.
I have a question on driving speed should restrict to under 80km/h for the first 8000km. This is normally the case for a new car to protect the engine. I had asked the same question to the dealer and the reply for him is no, you don't need to do so. I would like to have a 2nd opinion from people here,What do you think?
