Same here. Had same concern on my mind too. I guess that's how I'll drive my M and just deal with the consequences.

I always take 1st and 2nd to red line getting on the highway and anytime I'm hitting the back roads. Joy is 8400 pulse pounding beats per minuets

Whenever the oppertunity presents itself lol....not ALL that often. In normal driving I will usually shift before 6...mostly before 5. When I step on it a little I usually short shift 1-2 (7500) and take 2-3 to 8300. When I really go I'll shift 1-2 at 8200-8300. It's very easy to hit the limiter in 1st.

The problem with this car is, if you redline (at WOT) you're going >60mph in ~5 seconds. That is freeway speed already.

If you are in Virginia like me and cops hate you, pick the spots where you redline wisely because chances are you are already speeding (and accelerating fast) and you're going to get pulled over.

all day, every day. Love it. Sometimes I forget to let her warm up, but the DCT doesnt allow you to redline untill the engine is hot enough...thanks bmw.

+1, so do it on Freeway onramps...those i consider "Freebies" because Cali speed limit is 65mph...BUT, they never set a time limit on how fast u can get there. so i take it WOT everytime im getting on the freeway with a longer merging lane...
