i think your veteran card should give you some consideration. i also think that you signed up voluntarily and knew there would be sacrifice. regardless, i feel for you and am sorry about what happened. looks like the shift was made in your error, and it is a hard lesson to learn.

No, the ECU won't allow the car to overrev. it'll revmatch to the redline at the most; that's what the rev limiter is for. You'd have to let go of the clutch. I'm not going to test it, LOL, but it should get stuck at rev limiter and if you release the clutch in that gear, then it will over rev. They key is being in the wrong gear with the clutch engaged |

Can I make a suggestion, and I apologize if English isn't your first language. Can you please read what you're writing out loud before you hit the submit button and see if it makes sense? It's very difficult to understand what you are trying to say because of the grammar. As SakhirM4 pointed out, you're making contradictory statements, possibly because of grammar mistakes.

P.S.A.
There is a correct way to hold the shifter, please do it. Don't grab the shifter like a gun handle in every gear. The F8x gearbox is so direct and so clean and crisp, use it to your advantage. Sit in your car and feel how each gear should engage - it is impossible to go 3rd to 4th and accidentally into second if you are going STRAIGHT DOWN and holding the shifter correctly. you need to physically pull the lever towards you in neutral and then go down into 2nd.. 1st - 2nd = Grab the shifter like a pistol and pull towards you 2nd - 3rd - open palm and turn your palm slightly clockwise and push up and away 3rd - 4th - Put palm on top of shifter and flick the shifter down with your fingers directly into 4th (pistol gripping causes the inclination to pull towards 2nd especially when you are at redline, trying to execute the fastest speed racer shift) 4th - 5th - turn palm slightly clockwise like going 2nd-3rd, and push up up and away 5th-6th - palm opened towards 6th gear gate, push down and away My method.. get used to changing your hand position and you will reduce your risk/chance of misshifting. Continue grabbing the shifter like a pistol in every gear other than 1st to 2nd and it is only a matter of time. This might seem like basic knowledge to some but for the people that grab it like a pistol, I highly suggest you consider why I always advise against it. But to each his own.. |

They could do something like electronic gate locking. Cant go into a gear if the calculated RPM is in the money shift area. Have some mechanism block the shifter from going into that path. Its possible.

You signed up voluntarily and as mentioned, you knew there would be sacrifices that some of us are not willing to make. That makes you a hero that we are not, but this does not mean you are entitled. At the end, and again, mentioned by lot of fellas here, this does not sit well against BMW. If you are looking to have a chance for the case, I suggest you to remove this thread as soon as you can because what you described is obviously user error. I am sorry, but I hate entitlement as there should be no such thing in this world. |
