But I would still probably do it on a non-M engine as well just as a good maintenance practice, especially if you plan to keep it for the long haul.
I was not told about break in service when I took delivery of the car (M50i). So when I had an appointment with product specialist at the dealer to go over the features, they looked at the “required service “ in IDrive / connect and said it will be listed as 1200 service required if it is needed. In my car it was not listed and thus said not required ..🤷🏽
