Yes, full throttle and only drive in the orange/red area

But seriously, BMW recommends the usual alternating revolutions and speeds, not to exceed 5500 rpm and 170kmh/106mph. Avoid full throttle and don't use the automatic transmission kick-down.

There's also a separate recommendation from 2000km-5000km (1200 miles - 3100 miles) of top speed of 220kmh/137mph and only use the max speed of 250kmh/155mph briefly for overtaking.
