You still want to properly break in your car though. Drive it normal. Don't beat on it too hard, and try not to go over 4500rpm or 90mph for the first 1200 miles.

Not sure one can say
only the actual "M" cars have a "required" break in period. Either they both (M2 and M240s) have a "required" break in period or neither of the them do as the manual language is identical when addressing break in. Only difference is the M2 (2018 version) "allows" rpm up to 5500.

also noted for both is to "do not use launch control" during this period.
The M2's manual language is identical except it allows a higher 5500 RPM, and 106mph vs 100 for m240.
Also as was noted in the prior post the M2 does provide for a dealer service at 1200 miles which is a nice perk for the M2 owners

that in itself does not imply a "required" break in period. In terms of manual language of "do nots" etc there is no difference thus there is the same break in implied for both M2s and M240s, just a higher RPM level allowed for M2s.
