1k mile marker was a while back for me...about a year ago.
Engine got smoother overall...and shifting (wasn't ever an issue, just went from "fine" to "like buttah").
I think that was about it. At 26k miles now, 13 months of motoring.

:cornut: That was 5yrs ago(08 R56 BRG MCS/JCWm) and the only change that I recall now is being able to go above 4krpm with MINI's blessing. I really didn't break that rule nor after 'break in' have I ever over reved. That little 'watch fobb key' will tell on you every time like say, when something breaks and the dealer wants to pin it on the driver and not pay. I don't apply that to speed limits though:eek6::lol:

My car became more responsive and used less oil, when it broke in.

Bertie crossed the first 1k around 6 - 8 weeks ago. Engine might be slightly smoother and easier reving and slush box might shift a little smoother. Brakes apply a little more evenly. These would be very minor changes as things were already smooth. Probably more my own just getting used to how it does things in comparason to previous car (Lexus IS.) Fuel economy has gone up, as we were watching that as an indicator of anything not working right. (Everything is working great.) Getting well over 37 around the metro area now vs around 33 on the first couple of tanks.
Biggest change is the size of the smiles on our faces every time we're driving him around continues to grow! Starting to look like The Joker!
