Run in drive it like you stole it from day dot.
Oh by the way welcome to the forum Traxover, hope you enjoy your stay. Give us some details on your beast please.
I picked my car up on a Saturday, then on a Sunday went for a cruise along Putty Road with about 15 MINI's. Drive it the way you want. If you baby it from the start it will never be as fast as it could be. Also engines these days do simulated km's in the factory so run-in is less of a problem as it used to be. Having said that, don't be stupid and bounce it off the limiter at very TLGP
I left mine approx 1000-1500kms(and no - i didnt FULLY baby it - I still gave the engine exercise). Then I've always given it a great run. However, dont start slamming it off the limiter every gear.
Be a normal person. Dont flog the sh*t out of it then turn it off while its still recovering.
If you wanna flog it, do it, just dont expect that your going to do a simulated Le Mans 24hours and expect it to last for a lifetime.
I flashed mine at approx 1000kms. Never had a problem.
A car is a car - they are very well designed from the factory and shouldnt be easily breakable!
I've pretty well driven it normal so far with a few quick runs here and there. You know to see how she goes , with a go slow ending to let it normalize temps before I parkup.
