Sundry thoughts...

Break-in period - my salesman said to keep it under 4K rpms for the first 2K mi. He sells a lot of cars and should know what he's talking about.

Break-in oil - I asked if it had break-in oil and the salesman said no. According to him, it could go the entire period before changing. But you guys have me thinking about changing it. What's $90 for some extra security?

Automatic car washes - avoid them, even the touchless ones. Your car is too low for them and you can damage suspension components (I learned this from experience on my old Box). PLUS, you will nick your wheels going through the track. You don't want to do that to your fantastic wheels.

Enjoy your car LB.
