Is there any ''break-in'' required on the MINI Cooper??

I have heard 1000 mile before red-lining it??!! Any one any ideas??

1250 miles below 4500 rpm and no full throttle is recommended............

Quite a few threads on this... started one myself! Do a search and you'll get loads of opinions. If I had to some them up it would be: drive it slow and the car will not be a rocket but will last... drive it hard and get a faster car but run a (small) risk of slightly less engine life.
But even that would probably get disagreed with... good luck!
