With the manual gearing the m54 lives between 3000 to 5000 RPM. At 80 mph on the highway it's right around 3200-3500 or something which is not far off from my other cars at that speed. Just getting going from stops and everything you really got to wind it out every single time. And do have to downshift to fifth from time to time on the highway. Another 80 horsepower some more low end and a 7500 rev limit would be great.
