In my car it goes beyond the redline, the red line starts @6000 rpm, this car goes to 6500 rpm, just before the rev limiter and sometimes it will hit the rev limiter.

A person who has a facelift 4.4i on x5drivers.co.uk reported that his 4.4i facelift changes up @ 6500rpm and agreed that it would be best if it changed a 6000rpm, not beyond it.
