iCe duDe..... i drive a E30 320i auto .... I think there may be something to what the guys are saying here - if u can sift through all the insider jokes and stuff :lol: ....
Even when i floor the throttle I rarely see redline gearchanges unless I shift down manually..... and if I accidentally shift down when there's 3.5k-4k++ revs showing on the clock, I will certainly see a 'redline event'...... in which case it could quickly become a "what the f.uck" or "oh my god" event....
Get it checked out dude..... you cant be redlining your engine on a regular basis .... it aint healthy

Hmmmm, when in "D", the car should be changing gears before the redline. Be it my Wira, City, E36 326i, E34 520i.... have never experienced upchanges at the redline in "D", what more 8,000 rpm.Originally posted by Jipster@Aug 22 2005, 09:50 AM

The only time I hit above the redline is when I am in "manual" mode and hitting the rev limiter.
Hmmmm, me thinks your RPM meter could be misreading..... you can't be hitting 8,000 rpm consistently without doing something nasty to your engine. Unless of course if you have M-engine in there.

But, in the E46, the gear shift takes place after the intermittent redline and if I recall, a bit over the redline in S or steptronic mode. Once, I thot something wrong with steptronic cos it's suppose to idiot-proof upshift automatically. So, I pretended to be an idiot and realised it eventually upshifted but a wee bit too late for my comfort and aching heart!!
