I don't own an M8, but doesn't 47 mpg signal you may be running too lean ? I'd be tempted to explore a tune that would cause the engine to run a tad richer in the interest of running it cooler. "Just me".
Something to remember about that break in period: This is the time where you treat metrics and haters to a slow drive by view of what superior judgement and engineering beauty is all about. You've provided that example, now the rest is up to them.
No, no reason if riding with out a lot of heavy roll on. Fast stop and start you can't get that or better.
