keeping the limit in 4000 would probably be "healthier" for my engine. I mean all you're doing is spinning things faster, including the supercharger, which isn't doing any work if the rear tires aren't moving... so you're basically just making things hotter? Save energy for the race

Word around my college is that a guy with a bone stock '06 325i wants a piece. ;D.

On unkompressed cars I think it may be safer to remove the revlimiter (and I know people who have done it on C320s), but for the kompressed, keep it safe. There's no need to whine the charger staying still when someone can hear my charger whine nearly 2+ blocks down the street after a midterm .

Yah the new 325i's are pretty quick. I raced one last nite on the freeways, was an automatic though. It was from 80 up, i downshifted to 5th, should've to 4th, but anyways he pulled on me a lil from the start and kept pulling to about 1 car length. I wanted to start slower to maybe make things more interesting but this guy was in a rush.

Personally, i would definitely would love to have the Rev Limiter removed.. Just haven't found it cost effective just yet!~ You guys really flaunt your personal beleifs a little to strongly. If he wants to rev to 6k then let him be jesus!

OK, you are right. After all it is his engine. He can do with it as he chooses.
