i just recently bought my 550i alphine white with M aero kit navigation and premium sound. The car has 150 miles on it and i was hearing thing about when your driving you car fast when its new its not good for the engine you have to wait untill 2000 miles atleast. Is this true?

yes. read your manual.

Before 1200miles dont go over 106mph / 5500rpm
after that slowly increase speed and rpm

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about it. Treat her a little gently in the early days by all means but unless you're constantly thrashing the living daylights out of it during the break in period I would doubt it's going to do serious damage. Many owners also like to change the oil after break in, I didn't but probably doesn't hurt to do it.
