Chicken & egg, brakes or engine ??

I have a situation, or maybe I don’t, I have just had Thorney fit new AP discs and RS29 pads across the rear, thanks John. These of course require bedding in properly, which requires reaching low medium and high speed, and the progressive…bollocks, you lot know what I mean I shall not dilate on the matter further.

During the Dyno run, Thorney diagnosed a fooked head gasket, I discovered that this was covered under my full BMW Warranty, especially as my car is a garage queen , never having been tracked or “Rung”

..Car is currently with Andy at Murketts, who has accepted my explanation of the roll cage as being somewhere to hang my clothes from. The situation I have is that I still need to bed the brakes in, with all this entails, the problem is do I also need to follow some obscure BMW running in procedure for a new HG? as the final stage of bedding in requires hard progressive braking from a speed of about 350 mph, down to 50mph.! Thoughts on a £20 note and send to me
