Ok. You need to realize that with the M versions, you're basically dealing with a race car. So, it's very powerful and if you are hard on it in the break in period there is a chance that it will react poorly. That being said, it most likely won't blow up in your face, but when you spend 50 grand + on a sports car, do you really want to take that chance?

As far as the moving red line goes, you don't really have to worry about it unless it's cold outside, and then it only takes a couple minutes for it warm up.

For most people, I really don't see how the break in period is even an issue. I broke mine in, in a week in germany where it was extremely difficult and even painful to keep the thing under a 106 mph. But, here in the states, you really have no need to worry.

Just go on as many road trips as you can when you first get it, get the break in out of the way, and then enjoy the car.
