Break-in Service for New Cars

With the advent of Free Scheduled Maintenance, BMW stopped performing break-in services except on M cars.
I have seen that the engine and driveline oils in new modern BMWs are literally full of metal at 1,200 miles – as has always been the case with any new car. For this reason, I recommend a 1,200-mile break-in service.

Just curious: when you performed this oil change, did you actually see any metal or other foreign objects? From the pics it looks pretty clean...
