I had mine done at 650 but it was kind of special circumstances. I live 3 hours from my dealer. I had an idrive component go bad 4 days after I bought the car so I had to take it back. They gave me a loaner 335i and ended up keeping mine for a couple of days. I didn't even bring it up, they asked me if I wanted the service done, considering the distance I had to go, they would try to get permission from BMWNA to do the break in service early to save me another trip back. SA said they had done them at 850 before but not at 650. Anyway, they got special permission from the vice president of the international commision on early break in service or whatever and got it done. That doesn't mean I am done with break in... I'm still following recomendations. I will probably change oil myself at around 5000 miles or maybe earlier. If I didn't live so far away, and they didn't have the car for a couple of days anyway, they definitely would not have done it that early.
