Any risk to doing the break-in service at 900miles?

Don't kill me if this has been answered before

Just got my g82 to 900miles, I read on the forums that someone was told by their dealer that you can do the service at 900...any risks to this? I own the car and want to be completely safe but my excitement is killing me!

Mine said they needed 1100 miles. Since it's just fluid changes, I don't really see the problem but what do I know

I would definitely take it easy till 1k or 1.2k and then have the service redone... after doing some more research about the importance of the break-in ive heard some horror stories from service reps and owners

the consensus is 1k and youre in the clear

I ripped my car, like all 11 M's Ive owned since day 1--- of course warming up the oil correctly and not holding rpms in any one range and any one gear for a long time. Stretch those seals like a virgin's lips my brothers!!

Ill do my change at 1200 or whenever but my SA said you can go in at 900 plus as BMWNA will still pay them out on the services rendered.
