Can anyone tell me if there's a run in time for the JCW conversion ?

Is it a dealer car, or a friends car?
If its a dealer car, I wouldn't worry about it!
Can I have a shot too please?!?!
I love the fact that the Works is MORE economical than the S - thats superb - thats a proper upgrade!!
I'm not worried about the dealers car :evil:
I was just sitting wondering if the conversion needs to be run in because I haven't read anything regarding this.
Ok, my tuppence worth.
As a time served motor mechanic my advice would be (Not BMW or JCW). Any time a cylinder head is removed a certain run in period should be endured to allow the gasket, the new valve stem seals and any other moving part to "bed" in, this applying to a converted car.
As for running in as per the BMW manual, this would only apply to a brand new car, however a previously run in car that is converted would not really need the same period, but, a sensible amount of revving the engine should be excercised.
If you are seeking a definitive answer you would really have to talk directly to BMW and JCW to maintain the vehicles warranty.
So, when are you ordering it, as if i didn't know, 12 days and counting ;) or when Willie's in Ireland :eek:
