When i had mine done, i specifically asked if i need to run it in. They said no.
Running-in Procedure is not because of the bearing shells but more about the cylinder wall and the pistons.

EDIT: I should add that i only had my bearings replaced, i think if cams have been replaced you should defininately give the engine some time to run it in.
In that case i would just stick to the regular BMW Running in Routine.

As far as i know they use some light oil for running in. Something like a 5w-30? Not sure though.
