I'm not sure if OP knows how cars work or if he's talking about a specific application, like optimal rev range or best mpg or.. eh whatever.

Upshift only at 7000rpm. Downshift whenever revs are not at 7000rpm.

Your problem is your car has a Porsche transmission instead of a BMW one.

If you are asking around what rpm, then i usually shift 2.5 to 3k.

On that same note, I just love that 2nd gear... I like to roll on it when I'm at 3.5k and keep it like that while I'm going 25-30mph... Is that bad?
