No, at least not in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

But even if it were true - exactly how is 6k RPM not revving the hell out of the car? 6k RPM is damn high. Is it 8400RPM? No. But its high enough that statements about not having to rev the car are just plain ignorant.

Anyone who buys any car - short of a diesel truck or something - and claims they can shift at 3k or 4k RPM and be able to get the full potential the car provides is just looking for a reason to hate on an M3.
