Its a catch 22....
To properly break in the motor (ie: seat the rings), you need to exceed 5500 rpms by quite a bit as soon as possible, basically. However, if you have some issues down the road, they could read out your DME and see how you drove it, then blame it on you.
I aint going to debate breakin procedures with everybody. To each his own. I have broken in several new motors, and race-built motors, in my day. None of them ever had any internal issues and never burned any measurable oil. The only internal failure I had was my fault by doing a money shift on my E36 M3. It wasn't a major money shift as I caught it quick and only bent a couple valves! lol. coulda been much worse.
As far as break in, everybody is going to have to do what they think is best. I aint going to debate or judge anybody....its your car, do as you please.
