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?

No kidding. We beat ourselves up all the time to and then the manual is published with mistakes! I'll be keeping to around a 5,000 RPM limit thank you very much.

Read the highlighted section below straight out of the supplement.
