and im saying it doesn't matter what the gearing is, you would never shift at 6000 RPM. under any circumstances.

anyway, doesn't matter. we will see how peoples impressions change when the car is available to test drive. I for one am almost certain it will be awesome and a huge improvement in performance and fun factor on the street and track

I doubt they're milking these turbos for all they're worth.
The first time one of you v8 guys gets pulled by one it'll be off to the dealer for you, I'm sure.
M cars aren't for straight line speed. It can pull on me all it wants. The total experience in my S65 that eggs me on to rev more and more and more and fact that I will be hearing REAL engine noises gives me a better experience.

Did you read the fine print?

The S65 was an improvement on the S54 motor. And that's saying something.

If you make max power at 5500 rpm, and shift at 7000, well after power starts to fall off, you're going to be accelerating slower than if you're shifting properly and landing right in the meat of the powerband.

The lighter engine will aide in transient respsonse, grip and should in turn relate to an improvement in overall driving feel.

yes, actually it does. do you know the gearing ratios of the f80 m3? its hard to know what RPM it will drop to shifting at redline in 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc....

look at this graph. notice if you shift at redline how you are making way more power on AVERAGE than if you shift 3/4 of the way to redline.

also notice how much more power under the curve the F80 makes compared to the e9x.

hope this helps

Shifting ANYWHERE in the rev range, is not going to alter the ratio of the gears. It will always drop the exact same amount respectively. I would wager a bet, it won't be more than 1200rpms.
Shifting anytime after power drops off, will result in being slower to accelerate. Since that graph doesn't have any rpm designations, I cannot comment on it specifically.

for fun, I just checked an acceleration vid of an e92 m3 with DCT (extremely short gearing). the RPMS dropped by ~2200 on the first to second and second to third shifts.

point remains on the f80 m3, shifting at higher RPMS will result in more average power since the power is flat for 2000ish RPM and does not drop off according to BMW.

If it doesn't drop off, and holds right to redline, then yes, shift at redline.

The new engine makes peak power from 5500 thru 7300 rpm, which means you MUST rev it past 7300 to get max acceleration. In fact, as with any automotive engine, you must rev it past the power peak before you shift, so as to get more power in the next gear, and therefore get max average acceleration over whatever distance. In this area, the new mill has the advantage in that you can rev 400 rpm past the power peak, instead of merely 100 rpm past peak with the current engine. This new car will run comparatively like a striped ape after every shift.

Lastly, the new powerplant makes peak torque from 1850 thru 5500 rpm, whereas the current S65 doesn't peak until 3900 rpm, and starts losing torque after that. Admittedly that curve is extremely flat, losing only around 11% over a 4400 rpm window, which is terrific for a smog legal street engine. However, this new super six will make approximately the same power after each shift as it did before each shift (except for the 1-2), which means the car will accelerate just as hard in the next gear. This is almost unheard of.

You are correct in assuming the new one won't charge to redline with the same brassy, blaring, clarion-call-to-battle that the current car does, but it sure as hell won't be feeling weak, either. And with 406 pound feet at low rpm, it'll have that effortless feel that the current one lacks. Come around that 90-degree corner in third, and just pull away on a low-noise tsunami of torque.

As I just mentioned, the new car makes peak power up through 7300 rpm, meaning you must take it at least that high (and actually beyond) before you shift.

If peak power is flat from 5500 on, as long as your shift point doesn't drop you below 5500, there is no need to rev it out to or past redline.

Shifting anytime after power drops off, will result in being slower to accelerate. Since that graph doesn't have any rpm designations, I cannot comment on it specifically.
Gear to gear, revs will drop proportional to the rpm at the shift point. If second gear is 59% of first gear (around the ratio spread of the current car), then if you shift at 4200 rpm from first to second, revs will mechanically drop to 2478 rpm. Shifting at 8400, to 4956.

On just about any automotive engine, you must shift past the power peak for max acceleration. Reason: You're trying to achieve max average power over whatever distance or speed delta.

This new engine may be an anomaly, since each gear change (after the one-two) may let you stay at max power after the shift, in which case you needn't rev any higher than 7300.

That would be amazing, just in general - and also because of rotational inertia issues which may in fact lower the effective shift point even more.

Fuel cutoff is at 8400 rpm vs 7700 rpm. You need to shift the current car at 8400 for max acceleration. We'll see where you need to shift the new one at, but I'd bet right at the rev limiter at least for the one-two shift.

8400 to 4959?!?!?
No. Just no.

And this guy is shifting extremely slowly. Further emphasizing the drop in rpm.

You're kidding.

There is no CVT available. 6-speed (in this example), or 7-speed DCT.

The net of 150 lbs less weight and an advanced chassis would be nice but everyone had to have their torque and BMW decided to go half assed green.

22 lbs weight savings, 5 mpg improvement, slightly better smog, and higher torque aren't good enough to me when comparing S55 to S65.
This.

Long live the S65B40
