On the freaking money! Nice! I wanna hear your thoughts after that first WOT pull to redline.
I drove the M today, first time in a week. For some reason, every time I'm in it, people decide to use their windshield washers right in front of me. I don't get it... It's no longer spotless. |

You'll notice the temp is in the 20s so normally the M wouldn't even be out right now. But this weekend is in the 50s so I wanted it ready for WOT!! Will report back. I've pushed to 5500-6000 and its frightening. Can't imagine redline shifts!! |

So frustrating as it usually puts me between gears Quote:
This is the area where BMW neutered the S55 in the M2C |

EDIT for speeds at 7600 rpm. Site used is HERE. Pretty cool, gives you a readout at whatever RPM step you have per gear. 6MT calculation 1st -> 40.4 mph 2nd -> 71.5 mph 3rd -> 107.7 mph 4th -> 140.6 mph 5th -> 165.9 mph 6th -> 195.1 mph 7 DCT calculation 1st -> 34.5mph 2nd -> 64.0 mph 3rd -> 97.6 mph 4th -> 129.6 mph 5th -> 165.9 mph 6th -> 197.5 mph 7th -> 247.6 mph |

That's not good to know. I know the M was pulling hard even at 5500 and I was under the impression it would pull all the way to 7500. So no greater benefit after break-in?

Also, contrary to what some believe, the 1200 mile service doesn't "unlock" more power In any case, at least you can feel more comfortable winding it out now that the 1200 mile service is done and 7600 rpm is a pretty high redline for a turbocharged engine so worry not as the car is still a lot of fun to drive |

Fresh wax has the SOM shining, better than when I picked it up from the dealer. I could shave in the reflection I swear.
