| Message: | I see some are concerned re Launch RPM and USA "crippled" launch due to low RPM. In my 6sp M3 I got off fastest with ca 3500 RPM when new. Later, as the engine got stronger, I got off faster at maybe 1600 RPM, higher RPM was too hard to control wheelspin. In my M3 SMGII launch is ca 1850, does just fine. I had the recall x2 with lower bearings replaced, whatever. Each time the car got much stronger after maybe 8-10k mi. At 56k (last rebuild was at 43k) the car is stronger than ever, in normal driving my light comes on when I floor it while rolling in 1st or 2nd, and the tires are good. When I get my M6 (USA) I have no plans to make any changes to the launch RPM, I'll be patient (yeah, right, a patient M owner) and wait for the engine to get to full power in a few months. psybj '02 ///M3 TiS/grey SMG Cpe '02 Acura TL-S NEXT(?): M6 (Deposit placed 1/02) E90 M3 (Deposit placed 10/03) 911 C4S PDK CL55 AMG Infiniti GT-R Audi R9 PREVIOUS: '01 ///M3 AW/grey 6sp Cpe Acura 3.0CL Dodge Stealth TT AWD VW Thing Acura Legend Cpe.
