So, the elusive F80 M3 had been said by BMW officials to have a near 8000 RPM headline, and that was months ago. Since then, bets have been made by the Bimmerpost community, and thousands of enthusiasts have tried to guess what the redline will be at, most saying 7800. But now it's been shown at 7500 RPM, with the real rev limiter being said to be around 7600.

Well, it's not the 8400 (up to 8600 with ECU tune) of the now-dead E9x M3, but it certainly is very incredible for a
The car has twin Mitsubishi turbos, similar to those of the E90 N54, but this time producing 18.9 psi of boost. People on Bimmerpost have mentioned that it sounds like a 1M E82 but with 500 more RPM (seeing as the 500nm/369 lbft of torque conincides with the 1M's peak, after overboost).
EDIT: Also, while I'm fanboying over the F80 in my spare time...
The F80 had been caught in a collision on the Nordscheleife yesterday, revealing the seats. It seems to have held up well. The seats seem to be single-piece, and they could be those lightweight CFRP-backed ones that reduce the 3306-lb light weight of the F82 even further.

M3's typically have had moving redlines where its lower when cool and moves up when hot, it looks like this has something similar because of the LED's, so its hard to say for sure. As a side note, I love the "ready" and "off" on the tack for the stop/start system. Frankly if you look down an a tach at 0 and don't already know that your car is off...maybe an m3 isn't for you...

Haha yeah, that's for sure. I've never seen a car idle at 0 revs, always at somewhere between 500 and 1000.
I believe the E92 limited itself to 6000 when not warmed up. Hopefully that means pkilla didn't mess up stuff too bad.

Ready and off are for those idiots that don't realize their car is idling.
Could also be because BMW's ASS (auto start stop) randomly won't turn off the car, leaving it at idle.
