In regards to redline:
For such a group of enthusiasts, I'm surprised people are so easily fooled by redline on a tachometer. I've now owned several cars with a redline set ~300-400 rpms below fuel cutoff and where the true danger zone lies.
We don't yet know the true revving capacity of the S55. We also don't know where the turbo tapers off. Perhaps a 7600 redline indicates a top end of the powerband and a good end to shift, while fuel cutoff occurs at 8000 rpms.
A high-RPM track built 3.0 liter inline six has a lot of room to rev. Let's not say we know the true rev limiter under we find out.
