Running-in procedures for 520d?

Hi there, is there a thread here that covers the correct running in procedures for diesel engines? I'm getting my 520 soon and wanted to treat it properly!!

First 2000km maximum 3500 rpm, try to drive it at different rpm's below that. There's some info about it in the owners manual.

Thanks for that. I guess BMW would do some kind of run-in at the engine plant/assembly plant.

Funny, two answers, two completely different views.

He he... looks like you won't be following a run-in procedure at all then! I bet its 10 secs before you exceed 3,500rpm! Or else get 1,250 miles under your belt between when you pick the car up and when you go to Germany
