While that may work for breaking in your friend's new girlfriend, I'd avoid it for your new BMW.

See TrackRat's post for good advice. The only thing I would add is to gradually increase your rev limit from 4,500 to redline over the period from 1,200 to about 1,800 miles. I've done this with 4 new Bimmers - they all ran smoothly, gave excellent gas mileage and none has ever burned any oil between changes.

Enjoy your new car!
