Do whatever it says in your owner's manual. Paraphrasing the 2004
owner's manual: for the first 1000 km avoid excessive speed, hard
acceleration and hard braking. "Excessive" and "hard" were not
explicitly defined, but this does not sound like a good prescription for
Germany :_>

I broke mine in with a 400 mile trip. Per dealers request I changed speed
every 5 minutes or so. 55, 60,65,70,75,70,65,60,55 etc. Have no idea if
doing so made any difference.

It's not my intention to drive like the germans (100 or 110 mph, or even
more...).
But I just wonder : what is the maximum speed I can hold for hours, knowing
that the car will only have 1000 miles or even less?
Is 70 mph reasonable? Or can I do 75?

So 75 mph seems to be the maximum speed for the first 400 miles.

That was 5 mph over the speed limit. Subsequent to the break-in, the
fastest I've driven mine 85 while passing an asshole who accelerated when I
was alongside. It's pretty snappy from 55 to 85.
