55 break-in

I have an E55 slated for may/june delivery. My question is, did Mercedes/AMG give any advice with respect to break in. I know this is a highly debated subject, but is there anything official with respect break-in on these 55 motors. Thanks.

The manual states for the first 1000 miles to not exceed 4000 rpm and avoid using the manual shift option.

Thanks for the update, I forgot to post this in the CL55 forum also since we all have the same motor. What are your thoughts so far on the motor and brakes?
