I think that if you let the car warm up to proper operating temp and do not thrash it I am not sure there is a real break in period on these cars. Its not like the M cars which get a fluid flush after 1200 and have launch control turned on.

The M cars, well, at least the M5, have launch control available day 1, though the manual says not to use it before 3100 miles (IIRC).
