Caveat emptor. Anyone buying any used vehicle is at a disadvantage. I have had cars which I drove "normally" from day one (neither hyper aggressive nor extra careful) and gone over 100k with zero mechanical issues.
Anyone purchasing a used car has to deal with the reality that the previous owner may have taken their car to the racetrack, done burnouts, redlined it before the oil ever got warm, crashed it and repaired it without their knowledge, etc.
At the end of the day cars are machines that if things break they can be repaired, and as any many of my friends who own used BMWs could tell you, no amount of careful break in will prevent things like HPFP problems, worn out subframe bushings, or $8000 VANOS repairs.
