In Reply to: Shifting points- what rpm is too much? posted by ScottDetroit on March 04, 2001 at 22:20:45:

Redline is at 6800 for the M3's. you want to shift just a tad bigt before 6800 rpm. So right at the beginning of the red is fine. but you dont want to go all the way to the redline because power begins to drop off and its bd for engine.


I have a 95 M3 with the Jim C. Euro intake and chip. When I really get into my cars power, I try shifting at around 6500 rpms (just where the red starts on the gauge). Am I setting myself up for future over revving problems? Should I shift earlier than 6500 or am I driving my car within its limits? Thanks for any info, ScottDetroit
