today had my 2000km after break in service - Canadian M5 car

Done -
oil & filter change to 5w30
Differential fluid change
general inspection of suspension (visual quick check)
software update to reprogram to remove PDI mode

That's all. No secondary & additional break in service anymore until 20,000km

Note: The shop foreman also points out our M5 engine will consume about 0.7 litre of oil for every 1000km (at least till about 10,000km) and BMW Germany considers this kind of oil consumption to be absolutely tolerable. I thought I had an issue with excess oil consumption during the break in period but the shop foreman suggests no need to raise any alarm unless I see 'blue' smoke ....
