Why would a German dyno read in
MPH ??? Think about that.
Also...
I don't think the cars go that fast in the enclosed dyno room - not at Leipzig. I think only up 120 or 130 kph. Thats wha I remember from one of my tours there.
Part of the confusion of whether to adhere to the 4,500 or 5,500 rpm rev limit could also come from BMW "cut and pasting" the 1M sup book (directly) from the M3 owners manual. Everything was rushed with the 1M to get the car to the customer.
All I know IS my SA (and I saw it written in the German owners manual) says V-max of not more than 170 kph and no more than 4,500 rpms for my N54. Why would the 1M N54 be any different?
