Harm at 6000 r.p.m.???

[632 Regal]

never EVER rev the car up in neutral!

See?!? WTF?!? We cant even rev the engine with this transmission. BMW shouldve made a recall or something.

whats the purpose of revving it up in neutral anyways? Not like its open headders and we need the neighbors to be all pissed off.

...then some preventative for known bugs w/your engine/tranny...w/right (quality) parts/fuilds then drive the crap out of your can and enjoy it - you'll both be happy.

probably a little extreme to redline 6K rpm every shift (besides blowing speed limits) but here and there don't think will hurt for the grin factor... DRIVE THE CAR!

Youre right, but id still like to know that i could rev it if i wanted. Its kinda like the new M5. Alot will be mad that the car is limited to 155mph, even though the car can do 200mph. Most drivers will probably never reach 200 even if the limiter wasnt there, but its nice to know that the car could go 200 if the owner really wanted to.

frequent bursts to redline help avoid carbon buildup

I quote from page 69 of my BMW owner's manual:

"After driving for a while in dense city traffic or bumper to bumper, we recommend letting your engine "take a deep breath" by covering the next mile or two at engine speeds of 3000 rpm. This will help eliminate any carbon build-up in the cylinders."

It's conclusive, y'all...BMW recommends some engine revving every-now-and-then! YEE HAW!

is there like a maximum amount of time your suppose to rev it that high?

for example...I rev it up to like 6,000 rpm for not even a second about once a week...is this too often? would it start making noticable damage doing it more often?
