Over revs can mean a couple different things... too many revs judging a basketball game, or penalties are called non-stop.

Enjoy your auto benz.

I wonder if the OP had an aftermarket exhaust. Most of these we have seen have been 6MT with an after market exhaust, no?

It sucks the dealership stepped up to the plate and the OP is still jumping ship.

What kind of question is that for a "serious driver"?

I would argue, if the car allows it, it is within the terms of the warranty. "Over rev', sounds like a rev limiter malfunction

Honestly I just dont see how people over-rev..unless you pull a ridculous money shift..its not at all likely to happen.

Stand on the throttle all day long and the needle will just bounce off the rev limiter..so i would like to know what people mean as well when they say "over-rev"

Not related to exhaust hangers - they do not support the diff. Several threads on this and some good diagrams too! : )

Floor it to redline in 4th, go to shift to 5th, go into 3rd by mistake...

BOOM - hello overrev.

One of the main reasons I got a SSK actually - I felt like there was a chance I might do this because the shifter was/is a little loose/sloppy from the factory.

Like I said a major money shift..still dont know how this would happen..I have never even come close..and I drive the thing like I stole it

Is this possible with DCT?

That is funny. You dont know how to drive, break the car in 5k miles, dealer is nice enough to pay your part of the bill, and you want to buy the competitors car. LOL what are you gonna do? Get mad at all the manufactures when you bust their cars? Guess what buddy, anything mechanical will and does fail. This is YOUR fault lol, take responsiblity. Not to mention I would love too know how many times it was over revved in the earlier mileage when you were, "getting used to the car."

It sounds like we are better off without this guy in a M3.

[positiveions]

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.

Yep..money shift... FTL!!

I am totally agree to NOT buying a prior lease car! Coz the E93 I have right now is also leased and I did NOT treat it very well! haha

Way to go for being a crappy car owner?

[MPowerrE92]

Well I can tell you one thing from this post. I am most certainly not going to pull the trigger on buying a CPO E92 and will lease a brand new one that isn't abused lol

LOL Nope!!! Being a crappy car owner is just NOT what I am.
My point is, since I know it's leased, I didn't really care that much in some small details than the car I actually own!
I believe some people with the leased car do the same...maybe?
That's just my opinion in leasing cars!
I still love my E93 M3 as my dd, really nice

I rather keep leasing different new cars!
Coz you will never know how previous driver treated to that car and the CPO price are always higher!

Thank you for the cautionary tale. Recently sold my new X5 50i and looking for an M3. Now I'll be looking for only new ones. BMW better not piss off their lease customers.
