When test driving the car my salesman himself wanted to show me what the car was capable of and exceeded 5500 rpm substantially (not in the one I bought).
Simple. I ran into a situation where the engine revving (i.e. over the factory recommendation...not redlining) did factor into a resolution and luckily my dealer took car of me. Had he not, I may be in the process of arguing with BMW of NA.

If you disagree with me or don't want to take advice without "hard proof", then don't take it. Chances are it won't matter. But maybe it will. Your call. I don't care either way. Just trying to help.
