For those that have received new engines from BMW under warranty. Do BMW pay for the running in service and what happens to the service schedule, is it from the new engine or the bike ie 6000 miles from fitting the engine?

The running in service is part of the warranty claim so paid for by BMW 
Always then had it serviced according to the mileage on the bike, not the engine

To echo Nice'n'Fat, based on my previous experience, yes, the 600 mile service is paid for. I'm assuming that will be the case when my current claim gets sorted out. 
If it's not too delicate or under an NDA, what's happened to your engine?

Not at all. It's the 853cc in a 750 (but many more new engines in 1200 hence this section). Was noisy and received a new cam chain and tensioner and valve clearance checks. Still noisy so BMW ordered a new modified Head but when old one was removed, marks were found on the bores. BMW then authorised a complete engine. Both dealer (CW) and BMW have been great at sorting this out.
He's been doing the work
Well surely he would know if BMW will pay for the running in service and when it should be done, or doesn't he know the answer?
I spoke with John. He doesn't know, Ian the warranty guy is going to call me. I just wanted to know what BMW did for 1200 owners with new motors.
I'm amazed that they don't know, they must have come accross this issue before, will be good to know though

Yep, Ian called - just as NnF said, the initial Oil and Filter change is paid for and the bike retains its service schedule as per the Odometer and Annual services. The bike is now around 4k so will have two oil changes in quick succession which I guess isn't such a bad thing
