is that a problem?

No, not a problem, so long as it was a proper "Running-in check" Service that was done @ 1700 miles by BMW Main Dealer, it's perfectly OK and acceptable by BMW . I think much over 2000 miles and BMW might start " Uhmming & Arring ". Probably best to double check with BMW (GB) HQ in Bracknell.
There are quite a few CSLs with their "Running-in" Service done after the recommended 1200 miles aprox. , mine included @ 1889 miles yet BMW has honoured every Warranty claim on mine, since NEW including a recent replacement Diff and fuel pump few months ago.
