135i trans gears and 7100 rpm = 62.16 mph in 2nd gear . . .
So, even with an actual redline of 7k, as long as the limiter doesn't kick in until 7100+, you wouldn't have to shift.
Will BMW publish that number? No way. It'll be listed around the M3/Z4iS range.
Still, bottom line is, with 3.85 diff gear and 340hp+, this car is going to accelerate well, across a broad RPM range.
