The car suggests you change up early for fuel economy - however from 2nd to 3rd this really knocks the performance as you end up at a too low rev in the next gear. For more performance you need to hold the revs to at least 3200rpm to catch the torque / boost in the next gear.
The engine apparently will rev to 5000.. which I dare not do. I used to regularly rev my BMW 320D to it's rev limit.. and it was OK, but it did break a turbo at 30,000miles.. maybe it wasn't as robust as I thought it was.
