Those days have gone when frequent starts used to stress the starters, car battery and the drive train. With the use of electronic controls, all those starting stresses are limited to normal values and one need not worry of over heating the starters etc. With this fear gone out of the mind, you use this feature if you like it else disable it.

Do not try to link start/ stop with break in period. BMW does not recommend to change oil at 20 miles or 500 miles or 1000 or 6000. Does this give you a hint on the break in? A clear message is its your car, don't abuse it whether it is first 1000 miles or 50,000. Use it the way you want to use it to have fun. You are not spending $50,000 to garage it all the times.
