Its okay to doubt me. But do you want to take a chance that I am right? Have to pay for a new engine when somethings goes wrong and they blame it on overreviing the engine (i.e. not warrantied)?
What do you have to back this up? I drove the living piss out of my E46 M3 from the moment I got it and my dealer honored all warranty work (no major repairs, just minor stuff).

Overrevving is done when you exceed the redline, hence why they give you a limiter. If going over 5500 during break in voided the warranty they would give you a limiter for it. There is nothing that says going over 5500 rpm voids warranty, you are pulling this out of thin air.
