[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 77667, member: 139"] I was under the impression driving the car to the redline occsionally removes any excess carbon buildup in the engine? I drive a E46 318i with the 2.0 N42 and i rev 500rpm past the redline on a daily basis. Even my gf's E46 320i with the 2.2l revs 500rpm past the redline. I think maybe the first 1000 - 1500rpms of the redline is more of a security to prolong engine life and not so much the fact that there will be any adverse effects on operability and long term life of the engine... I THINK. :D Dont call me if your engine kaboom when u rev to redline. Heheh I do it anyways.. [/QUOTE]
