Octa Arrived!!
@H1Tad didn't that thing have a super advanced variable torque-split AWD system? Stuff that's commonplace now but for the early 2000s was space-age?
Funny enough, the only group that let me tag along offroad with them (in addition to the 'zoo guys of course) were the Land Rover crew:
I havent read that but I spoke to another Octa owner from LR Fairfield last week at a meet and he suggested an oil change when you get to 2000 miles - so I'll be scheduling that when I get there. Currently at 940 miles and hoping to keep the miles down on this one!
[QUOTE=Jim 90;926372] 4. Obviously the engine bay is a different configuration – fluids, air, etc. The engine oil is 0-30W vs 0-20W. Engine oil level shows up in PIVI PRO! per the manual.
8. There is a 310 mile period until the performance kicks in (not really sure what this means but either did the salesman). Then a 2,000 mile break-in period which basically means take it easy – no rock crawling or street racing, darn.
The Octa is using the S63 engine from the M5CS. Anyone familiar w/ BMW's M engines will certainly recognize the oil weight, break-in period, and that first break-in service at 1,200 miles.
