Question Taking the X5 on a first highway ride. Advise needed!

OK, I have an X5 that has less than 40 miles on the odometer and I have to go to the airport to pick up a bunch of people and their baggages.
This involves about an hour and a half of highway ride, both ways.
There'll be very light traffic when I'm going, so I'm wondering how my driving style should be, considering the break-in period.

I know I'm supposed to vary the engine speed.
So does that mean going like 30mph for one minute and 50mph the next and then again 40mph for a minute and then 60mph a minute later, and so on?
Or how about 30mph for ten minutes and 60mph for another ten and say 35mph for... you get the idea.
How should I drive to vary the engine speed for a good break-in on a highway?
