M40 318i Rev Limit ?

[smithy318i]

I had the thing up to 6000 yesterday, but im told the limit should be 5500.

Whats going on?
What should the limit be?

I guess the limit is where the red line is unless you have a chip that raises it.

Theres no point reving the M40 to 6K as i find it dies off a little at 5800 so best shift around that point

I think it's some think like 6340 on a standard chip

Think the limiter cuts in at about 6250rpm mate. Wait till its warm then stamp it in neutral till it goes 'gatgatgatgatgat' (Note:- Do not do this often or your car may blow up.....)
