If you didn't see the video above, you should. BMW gives your car the beans right as it rolls off the assembly line. The 1200 mile break in period is not as much for the engine as it is for the diff and tranny (which is why those 2 items also get a fluid change). The break in period (in my opinion), is also to let owners gradually get used to a fast car, instead of letting them out there to kill themselves. Drive the car any way you'd like. I hit 7000+ rpm in my break in multiple times, currently 5000 miles in, no issues. If you feel more comfortable easing into it, then do so. Whatever makes you sleep the best at night.
