Where did this myth about not putting the car in M mode during the break-in period come from? It's fine as long as you don't abuse the throttle and rev it up all the way right?

Correct. Go crazy with the most aggressive settings... just don't rag the shit out of the car during break in. Even if you decide to go crazy w/ it, the car will be fine. They are engineered to take the abuse.

Genius didn't tell me anything about a RPM limitation for break in. Only thing he said was doing go drifting or do any track days until after the break in work is done.

Then again, he also said the break in service was mostly for the brakes, so there's that.
