I would agree with you on most things that dealers tell you but not for this one. If there was a danger you'd damage a new car under warranty and they would become liable, why would they advise you that there isn't a break-in period? If it was the other way round then maybe.

And it's seemingly universal advice advice (I assume from BMW HQ) as there are lots of posts on here where dealers have said the the same
