so bmw lent you a 550i with 19 miles and your flooring it off the line and shit. if i was the person who handed you the keys and i saw this it would never happen again..

@fastlane5045 Wow, a brilliant comment. There's nothing wrong with testing the car's potential. You must be from the train of thought that you actually have to drive it like a granny for the first 1,500 miles or so, right? Me driving it like this was hurting nothing on the car. It had been sitting for a couple of weeks anyway, so I warmed her up and then drove it for a review. I'm glad you stopped by to watch, though. Please, feel free to comment on more of my videos. Any press is good press.

Just some comments here- during this review you often look confussed or worried, maybe its just your look. Doesnt appear that you are that excited. Its a BMW review, why talk about Pontiac? talk about BMW. No walk around, didnt sit in the rear seat and honestly, finally if you would have looked at the owners man- you would see the guide for breaking in

1) Do not exceed 4500 RPM

2) Do not exceed 100 mph

3) Change speed often

4) Avoid hard braking

@RawAutos read what bmw has to say about the exact car you "tested" below and its break in miles. "warming her up" wont do shit about proper break in procedure. i did watch one or two of your videos and theyre equally as horrible as this one. my problem with this is that its not your property your some sketchy geeky dude who borrows bmws for a few minutes for a shitty review and beats on them in the process. thanks for your offer to comment on your videos

@Shiner909 Second of all let me introduce you to something that shitty datsun brand created. its called the R35 gt-r. its made in japan and laps the nurburghring in 7:20. show me one current production bmw that can match that. it also does 0-60 in under 3 seconds and with over 500bhp its got more than any bmw that is on the market today and for a performance oriented brand i think its pretty fucking sad they cant do better than "that shitty nissan brand" thats selling better cars for half the $

[fastlane5045]

@Shiner909 lol! see now youve pissed me off. i love idiots. seriously. on page 144 of your 550i's owners manual youll find this is written there:Up to approx. 1,200 miles/2,000 km Drive at varying engine and road speeds but DO NOT EXCEED: In gasoline engines, 4,500 rpm or 100 mph/ 160 km/h.Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the transmission's kickdown mode for the initial miles. that is STRAIGHT out of YOUR owners manual you shit head. you look like such an ass right now let me tell you

[Shiner909]

@fastlane5045 You honestly think BMW would build an engine that would shed metal shavings from doing what he did or pushing it a little hard before the actual "break-in"? Fuck no.... then no one would buy them. Get your head out of your ass. Btw I know what I own. I also know that you made a piss poor choice on that '09 g37x. We all know Infiniti is a shit brand from Nissan. Anyway, say what you want and do whatever. I'm not reading this post from here on. Have a nice life!

[Shiner909]

@fastlane5045 You just don't get it do u man!? Each car goes through a roll booth. They run it at 85mph. Hell they even test drive ALL Z4's on a track... what do you think they do there... drive 30mph and not give it some gas? It's even on their website that they do this. Yes if he was hitting at over 100 and revving hard constantly, then it might not bode well. He gave the gas pedal some love taps, that's all nothing more.

[fastlane5045]

@Shiner909 wrong buddy..09 g37x and my father drives a '10 m3. i really doubt you even own one what "sales dude" drives the car for you?? what the fuck country are you from lol. he wasnt pushing it hardcore but beating on it with 19 miles is not smart period i dont care if its a toyota or a ferarri if you know anything about engines youd know its not good for them for at least 1k miles after that go ahead drive it like you stole it. also a reason i would never buy a car that has been test driven

[Shiner909]

@fastlane5045 RawAutos is right; you're old school and a dumbass probably driving around in a 1991 Toyota Corolla. I purchased my 2008 550i with only 3 miles on it and the only problem I've had is a cup holder issue. You're right I don’t' change my oil. I have bitches like you that do it for me. It's not like he was pushing it all hardcore and shit. What the fuck do you think they do on test drives idiot!!! Vehicles do have break-in periods. That means don't stay at constant high rates of speed!

[fastlane5045]

@shiner909 lol next time you do that with a brand new car take a look at your oil after beating the shit out of it and see how big those metal shavings are (not that you would change your oil yourself anyway but w.e) and imagine them going through your engine and then call me a "dolt" what kind of hick uses the word dolt lmao

[Shiner909]

@fastlane5045 hahaha you are funny and a complete dolt! It's a BMW retard... these engines are designed to perform and be pushed to their limit. First time I purchased my new BMW the sales dude drove that bitch hardcore and finished off with doughnuts in an empty parking lot. I purchased it that same day and still have it!
