Same here, it was very tight in the beginning, especially on down changes but it's a LOT better now.

I'm still a bit stressed that I took the car over 4000RPM (about 6000) a couple of times during the run in period I was not aware of...

When I was doing my run in I went over 4000 rpm a couple of times (maybe 4 times), some people would argue and say that it is necessary to do so, so the car doesn't become "lazy"

Interestingly enough both my salesman and the service department told me not to worry about running it in.
Not too sure about that so just gonna take it easy anyway.

86 5 months old today and just hit 8000km.
Worn in and oil change, she is just running so smoothly. Hoping the works filter and Zeta intake pipe helps with the lag between 3000 and 5000 rpm.
