Any demo will be a long time untill they put 1200 miles on as they will probably sell them on with 2000miles on after.

First of all, if the run-in procedure is like all the other M cars, you are advised to limit the revs at 5,500rpm until 1200 miles, not 3,000rpm.
However, even this number of revs won't allow you to really see what the car is like.
If cars are going to be used as demos then either they have to be run-in first, OR not released into the dealer network and sold on, OR given a special extended warranty.
Otherwise what is the point of BMW clearly stating a run-in procedure if it's not even going to be applied by the dealers?
