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

I understand that it's a mechanical over rev due to driver error, I get that. I was implying that maybe there was a correlation?! Just speculating.
My point is why does it seem to have been occurring so often on these cars(M3/M4.) Coincidence?! Or just careless shifting/drivers? That is what I am trying to get at.
I loved my 6 speed 135, I couldn't image ever mis-shifting in that car(very smooth.) I can only imagine how nice the M3 6 speed manual is going to be.
