The E46 M3 S54 engine had a rev limit of 8000rpm

The E9x M3 S65 engine has a rev limit of 8300rpm

Never heard much complaint about low rev limit on the prevoius straight engine M3's before...
You really don't see the flaw on your statement do you ?

let me help you out, its the year 2013. at the time of those engines, they "more" high revving. This new 2014 M3 will have a lower rev limiter than a 2002 BMW M3.

also 600RPM is a lot, nice try though.
