I have been hearing for years that the 'break-in period' is a thing of the past and no longer necessary. There's certainly a debate there, and BMW hasn't felt compelled to take it out of the manual (again, the lawyers... ?). But I've not worried about that in a long time. Mind you, I only keep them 3 years or so, but I've just always been told, going back probably to my first BMW in '99, that modern engines just don't need this and they already go through extensive testing before we get them.
