In an Ideal world everything is transparent... In the same way as the Iphone sends messeges to apple co about your usage and car manufactors use your driving pattern and engine diagnostics to develop new software and efficient engines .. i can see that car engines are software restricted in the break in period to prevent early breakdown, warranty issues and risking bad reputation for early worn out engines.. The software in the engine is not static , as what i heard it adapts to your driving pattern.
I will try to dig deeper in to the issue and come back when I have more info..

I would like to add my experience - I am no Norwegan but a Dane living in Switzerland, but I tend to agree with my Norvegan fellow here.
My last Toyoya Avensis D-Cat 177HP changed significant atttitude when reaching 11000km - engine loosened signifant up; reacted faster, more power => felt like another engine.
My current X3 2.0D did the same with app 10000km.
A friend have experienced the same with two Range Rover diesels - one V6 and one V8.
I have for sure no evidence that this is something BMW, Toyota and RR do in general, but my experience is that "something" is happening with the engine around 10K km
