This turbo M3/M4 will drive very different from the E9x M3. As someone pointed out earlier, what is the point if the power drops off up top like most turbo engines. You will be short shifting anyways.
Will be interesting to find out. The reporter here writes that the "tach needle has left 7500rpm a long time ago". That indicates that it actually revs quite a bit past 7500rpm and that it actually can be driven that way.

The quote on rev needle past 7500rpm is made in a context where Biermann "laughingly comments that no M engine should shy away from high rpms" (while the rev needle has left 7500rpm behind a long time ago).
