As I’m not one for reading manuals, does the LC500 have a running in procedure?

How many miles on your 2023 LC500?

This video makes sense and it follows BMW advice/instruction on new M5 and M3 engines.

Damn....should've asked here instead of listening to the dealership. They told me, just drive and the car will adjust.

No turning back now, already driven 2750+ miles in 3 weeks.
