X5M, skipping 1200 mi break-in, how bad?

[argento]

Insights please. Looking at purchasing a low low mile, 1-owner, X5M '13. How concerned should I be if the original owner skipped the 1200 mile break-in service? Next oil change didn't happen until 6k. X5M still under original warranty and I can get third party warranty, probably not bmw warranty. Thoughts?

Personally, if the car is running great many miles after the 6k oil change I wouldn't worry, but thats me. If its concerning to you and you feel it will hurt the resale value down the road then stay away. Are you certain it was skipped?

I'm told it's the reason why warranty eligibility is N/A. It's at 15k now... I'm not too concerned at the moment, but am looking for any reason to change my pov...

Talked to local Service and they said S63 don't have 1200mi service requirement. ??? Missing something....need more info...

Id more concerned with it sitting for so long over it missing a service appointment.

I agree. I had a '13 X6M and the dealer told me there was no 1200 mile service, it was required on my '16 though.

Thanks all for the help and comments; No 1200 miles service on E70 X5M.
