how many miles to break in the motor
I just baught a 9 and i heard they want you to wait till 5,000 miles. I talked to a couple of other local guys. 1 said he changed his oil at 500 miles and then he started steppin on it that sounds kinda scary 
. Then the other guy told me 2000. I'm at 2200 right now and i didnt want to do anything until i got some other opinions.

Good lord, 2200 miles? What a waste. Like su37su said, this is directly in your manual and the dealership themselves would tell you 600 miles. Hell, they made me and many others watch a video, and the video also said 600 miles. You should have boosted hard but not above 5000rpm for the first 600 miles, then after that, you romp on it.

I was in the DC metro area when I bought my MR, and they made everyone watch it. I haven't heard anyone talk about it in a while, so I guess they stopped doing it. You didn't miss out - it was a pain being FORCED to watch it before being given the keys.
Dan, I don't know anyone who says 900. The manual says 600 - no reason to go longer and many reasons to go shorter.
