This engine, an 3.2ltr.V6 BiTurbo has run into an endurance test on the engine test bench with this 8.000rpm ... which has probably led to the rumors of a redline of 8.000rpm for the new M3/M4 engine
But the probably next M3/M4 engine, an 3.0ltr.I6 TriTurbo will almost certainly have a redline of ~ 7.000rpm.
