It isn't THAT important, at least not so important that BMW (or any brand) are willing to spend a ton of money and time developing technology to prevent this.

But why would almost all manufactorers advise you to follow a break in procedure? I don't think they have it just to mess with people..
And I think it's mostly not for the engine itself, it's more for the wear and tear parts.

But doesn't BMW (or is it Porsche?) have different oils in the car up until the first service?
