With less than a week to go til I take delivery, what are the recommendations that BMW state for an LCi 525 diesel?

Thanks,

Automatic transmission ?
If yes, don't push hard the pedal for 1-2k miles and it is enough!

I lasted 40 miles before flooring my new 535d Ill let everyone know how it handles up over the next year or so, not having followed the break in procedures at all! I'm currently at 500 miles, and am having the engine remapped by DMS on Tuesday !
