I'm curious about the "1200 Mile Break-in Service" you mentioned. I took delivery of a 2013 X6-M this last spring and I was assured there was absolutely NO service required until about 15K miles. (I had the dealership do an "early" oil change at my expense at 1200 miles anyway just to get the factory oil out).
So if the X6-M and the M6 both have the same engine, is there really a 1200 mile scheduled service for the M6 (but not the X6M)? I also have read that the M5 also has a 1200 mile initial service requirement, so I find this curious...
I see no links on the BMW web site for the 2013 M6 owners manuals, so I am asking where this information can be found....
What exactly gets done at the 1200 mile service?

My X6M was the same way. No break-in inspection, which I found odd. The M6 actually has 2. One at 1200 and another at 2500.
The 1200 break-in is where they changed engine and transmission fluids. The 2500 mile one is happening for me this week. Both of these service intervals are indeed counted down by the iDrive and will notify you.
I'll report back once the 2500 one is complete.
