Think about all the dealers that got demo cars earlier this year. Dozens and dozens of people test driving the piss out of those cars. BMW did not supply special demo cars capable of revving over 5k RPM in the first 1,200 miles. None of those cars had the break in "rules" followed. They are all fine. Yours is fine too. Enjoy it!

BMW Performance Driving School does no break in on their cars, they go straight to the track and get pounded so I don't think you will have any issue.

Not according to the guy who introduced me to my car when I did Performance Center delivery. He said one of the percs of working there is that the staff gets to put at least a few hundred road miles on cars before they're put into track use.

Few hundred versus 1200. Press cars don't get broken in at all. Not saying that is best for the long term health of the engine but two jaunts to 5k aren't going to hurt these cars.
