Even after break in, the S65 takes a longer time to warm up than most other cars, during that time it is vulnerable.
Consider this also..when people went to their dealerships to testdrive the new e92 M3 during its production years, i believe almost nobody waited for the engine to be warmed up before stepping on it. Think of it, you're testdriving the new m3, even salesman will ask you to do that (i've witnessed it). Well, sorry but that is not ok for racing engines and the s65 is one of the closest to a racing engine you get on a commercial car. The engine then develops a B problem 50k miles later.
I believe almost every single M3 that has been on a dealership parking lot when through some abused before being fully broken in.
For me owning the m3 was buying it straight from the factory or from an original owner who factory ordered it. It was one of the first decision i made when i got interested in the car.

That is a legit statement except with the statement buying from the first owner.
Car could also be abused.
So best bet, as you mentioned...get one new but it's hard to get the discontinued E9x in these days brand spanking new...sooo here we are many enthusiast's with no really out of this drama...unless
not someone find's a way to drag BMW to court and cash up for all the unfortunate car-enthusiasts.
I think, if this tick-tick-S65 boom histeria, is real talk BMW will sooner or later have to pay the bill.
So a little advice from my side, normally expensive now for free:
No matter what happen's to your motor, don't freak out, keep calm if you even don't have any warranty left because justice will prevail
