Revs @ 70mph?

ScotyH · 04-04-2008, 10:07 PM

I can't seem to figure out what the new M3 will rev @ about 70 mph.

Please help....

C&D test says for the 6MT (in 6th gear) it's 22.6 mph for each 1000 RPMs so that's 3100 rpm = 70 mph

here is the mph per 1000 rpm in each gear..

4.9
8.3
12.5
16.6
19.7
22.6

so in other words at 8400 2nd gear would be good for 69 mph etc.

I have no idea about the 7-DCT

6MT, 6th gear: 3025 rpm
M-DCT, 7th gear: 2850 rpm

Estimates about +/- 50 rpm or so.
