I will sort it out proper mate, I shall put my sensible Engineering head on and find a happy balance, just need a longer straight run to build up speed without revving nuts off it !

Running a head gasket in? All it is, is a seal thats squashed when the heads tightended!?! I can understand bedding in a freshly honed bore, but not a head gasket, if the gaskets gonna fail, its gonna fail no matter what.

Engine up to temp, drive it how it should be driven!

My original thoughts entirely Craig, but then I got to thinking , surely BMW are going to make it more complicated, at the very least I would have thought they want to re-check the torque on the new bolts after so many mailes or so?? just guessing.

Joking are you not? BMW service being efficient, yeh right.

You will be fine duncan, just drive it as normal, just be patient for temp to rise before booting it,

What were your symptoms??????

Still cant belive you got away with that

No running in required, worthwhile doing first run relatively delicately to get oil wamre dup and check for any leaks etc but assume dealer will do that. AP bedding in doens't need any high rpm just variance in speed thats all so wouldnt affect car even if you did need to run it in.
