Ring seals have zero to do with break-in on these cars today. BMW says you can have "noises", etc. from the rear diff, trans, etc. The car also runs adaptations for approx. 200-300 miles of initial driving. You should drive the car int eh manner you would normally drive so that your will set the adaptations accordingly. I do NOT know if this is set from new (I suspect it is) or after the 1200 mi svc. We reset mine fully after the 1200 mi svc just in case.
