Am I missing something? Maybe a correlation with rev-matching?! Not sure... Just these threads popping up everywhere are frustrating.

These over revs are NOT the M3/M4 rev-matching abilities.. it's DRIVER error, as in going from redline in 3rd and trying to go into 4th, but accidentally going into second, bumping the RPMS up 1000+rpms from redline. These are physically FORCED over-revs, not the ECU blipping the throttle...
ZERO correlation with rev-matching.. the only correlation I can think of is an inexperienced driver thinking the computer has a limiter, and forcing the car into a lower gear thinking the car will either
1) rev-match to correct rpm or
2) NOT do it due to the "limiter"
Regardless, it all comes down to driver error.. Just because the car rev-matches for you doesn't mean it's a safety nanny in preventing driver error
