George had no end of problems with his demonstrator 323i. I bought one at the same time brand new and no problems at all. But they were electronic more than anything and I can't see how that's related to breaking in procedure.
So, I think it's just BMW being over-cautious.

Didn't I see your dad's Porsche on the back of the tow truck the other day? Lol
It's not just BMW. Every car has a breaking in recommendation. Even GT3s. Most important thing is to remember that the tyres are green, and all the other mechanical parts are still tight. But engine? I would not worry too much about that given the tight manufacturing tolerances these days! They bench test them anyway and yes they redline it on the bench test.
