Plan on driving a new car on a 3000mile highway trip. Bad idea?

by Bow Wow <Bow@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 10, 2008 at 12:15 AM

I was planning on taking my soon to take possession X5 on a trip which
will consist mostly of highway driving of about 3000mile drive and
been told that that's not such a good idea because you don't want to
drive a brand new car on the highway for any extended amount if you
can help before the car's properly broken in.

The seals, rings and the machine just needs to set in properly, which
happens during the break in period and before that, I was told you
should avoid any long highway trip.

What do you guys think?  If this was your car, would you do it or put
off the trip until after the car's broken in properly?  Thanks.
