I'm concerned that the new diff is still going to be breaking in and shedding metal for the next 1000 miles and should have it's fluid changed again, but BMW dealer is saying no.
Does anyone have a copy of the technical bulletin they can check to see what BMW recommends?

FWIW, here you go, straight from the horse's mouth: 'Technical Action' document 0033990100 of July 19, 2016 (see the text highlighted in yellow).

Quick translation:
"After the rear differential axle change it is additionally required to perform a break-in control [maintenance] (rear differential axle oil change after approx. 2,000 km [approx. 1,200 mi]) and to be charged under special diagnosis # 00 33 99 01 00.
It has to be pointed out to the client to observe the break-in procedure."
Anyway, ask your dealer to ensure checking with BMW whether this also applies in your country.
