I drove mine on several extended highway trips (2 hours or so) and just varied my speed and gears to keep from running the car at a constant RPM for too long. Stayed under 4,500 rpms which is pretty easy to do actually because the car had good torque. Having said all of that BMW does run their cars at the Performance Center without following their own break-in procedure, of course they are selling those cars after a few months without a warranty so take that for what it is. When I did my 2 day M school I think the lowest mileage car was about 800 miles so they may do a shorter break-in.

I don't think Performance Center cars qualify for CPO, but I'm pretty sure they come with a warranty.
And let's be real, it is not because of how they were broken in, it is because they have had the sh.. thrashed out of them
