To put it simply Ford sells cars and trucks hence the 100 mile break in period, BMW sells lifelong driving beasts. Big difference in manufacturing ideals will often result in different caretaking recommendations.
Just saying yo..

Ford's quality is as good as if not better than BMW.

Part of it is marketing again but it is also the total package, but my point was BMW's engines have what? Pistons, valves, a block, oil pump, belts, cams, spark plugs, ECU, etc. Nothing is revolutionary there. All basic components that once again most every engine has. So there is no reason why it would require a special break-in.
A revolutionary engine might be something like Mazda's rotary engine. Now if it had a special break-in procedure you might buy into it more because it has a different type of operation.
Just don't believe everything you read ...
