I think you are vastly over stating this risks. I'm not saying it isn't bad, but engines can take a lot more than most people give them credit for.

I see what you mean. But I'll give you one example: when I had my M3 with DCT, I would sometimes think I was in D mode when accelerating from a stop when I was actually in S mode. Redline comes pretty quickly in 1st gear! I did that a couple of times with a cold engine and it bugged me but caused no obvious damage. I recall seeing at least one other post on this forum by a concerned member who did the same.

I made a stupid mistake once. I was waiting for a friend in my car for a long time and I wanted to extend my legs so I pressed down on the gas pedal. When I saw my friend I stepped on the clutch and started the car and basically redlined the car when the car was cold. It was bad... I felt bad so I gave my car a bath the day after
