Precisely!!! - sorry, really wanted to use this...

WTF. I didnt know that. where did you hear that from and is it confirmed? I assume they limit the power in first and second gear to increase drive train life. Why else would they do it? That is bullshit. Im sure a tuner will come out with something soon to bypass that just like they bypass the top speed limiter

I gotta join up on that sight. Ive been checking out m3post.com lately though. Do you know of a better m3 website. The info on that one doesnt seem credible. They are saying the new M3 will have 450hp and 9000 redline. Thats against everything ive heard elsewhere. I heard 415 to 425hp with redline just under 8500
