Over revving can also mean when a person is in a gear, let's say in 5 gear at 5k rpm, and he decides to downshift, and by mistake, he throws it into 2nd gear. Yes, you can imagine that will eventually cause some
serious damage. There is no revv limiter when you down shift.
During the E36 M3 era, many stupid drivers performed such miracle task and blamed BMW for their stupidity.
