Faulty dash display I'm guessing. VERY common on the W210, not sure about the W211...

I believe that indicator that your seeing in the display, is the upshift limiter indicator, that car displays this symbol, just before you actually hit the 7200 rpm limit. The E63 doesn't actually let you hit the limiter which is set to 7200 rpm, the car display will turn red at 7000 rpm letting you know to upshift before hitting the limiter.

Mercedes E63 AMG
I'm wondering if someone can help me too? Whenever I full throttle it in first to second gear, it lags.. a LOT. Is there something that might be causing this?
