Not really.

The only rpm useful really is redline, its a known quantity. Of course that being said limiters are not perfect and I've heard of stock M3's getting to 8460 or so before cut off. I guess that's just another variable in the mix here.

M3 and M4 will not have automatic transmissions but rather dual clutch units.
