5th gear redline down long hill in 25yr old m10 e30. Most horrifying experience in my life. Maxed at 125, but shook like I was doing 200 in a horse drawn carriage down a dirt road. Let off the gas & cleaned what was left of my trousers.

I just rev it until she screams like the little whore she really is. When that scream is so much even you cannot take it, shift, rinse, repeat.

When i don't feel like using shitloads of fuel i shift @ 2k. But a little redline action everyday is always niceOG RACECAROriginally posted by kendoggDon't know, but the E90 wasn't designed from the ground-up intending to be a racecar like the E30 was.

I usually wait till my car is warmed up first, then whenever I pull from a stoplight I pull up to 5.5k (SETA Redline) in a nice crescendo so it makes the sweet music of SETA awesomeness.
Then I drive normal 30mpg ftw mofo
