330e breakin period?

My friend bought a 2021 330e, currently has around 1,000 miles but the engine was only actually on for maybe half that (short commute, drives around town, etc on electric only mode).

Any thoughts on break in for the engine on those? I waited about 1200 miles on my M440 before really romping it.

Owners manual states only "M" models needs 1,200 mile break in period. 330i apparently does not I'd imagine 330e is the same. Mine has about 600 miles on it done a few WOT but have been putting into sport and manual model also through out my drives.

Are you sure? My 4-series (european) owners manual does not make that distinction. (Only specify different maximum speed during break in for diesel engines.

Perhaps US models are different, my owners manual only said M models needed the 1,200 mile break in period.
