[BMWXGOLF]

you are lucky

It'll be alright. I spun my E36 M3 up to 10.5k rpm once when I missed a shift at the top of 3rd (roughly 7-7.2k) and put it in 2nd instead of 4th. That scared the hell out of me. I had never missed a shift in any of my Getrag'd E30's or any other car for that matter. My M3 is still fine now 5-6k miles later at 173k.

While some people like the feeling and seeing of maxing the rpm's, to me it's unecessary and I shift at the point when I feel the car has just come past it max power point.

the car pulls all the way to redline... and its a drift event so its kinda needed to have the tires spinning....

Thats too short of a time to really cause any serious damage in my opinion. Think of it like this... if you touch boiling water very quickly, you wont get burned. If you lay your hand on it for a full 5 seconds you will be screaming in pain.

You caught it.

[SamE30e]

Hmm, leaktown test it for piece of mind.

[BMW_TUNER]

You are fine. No Poping or real floating in the top end and no hesitation after reving at 0:39.

[Danny]

I think you caught it in time.

[E30Kaiser]

I am guessing that was by Turner Field? Hope the engine holds up.
