You should get at least 6200rpm in power mode
I've never been beat by a bimmer - (never raced an M though  )

Mine ALWAYS goes right up to the 6500 redline (maybe just a hair short). I haven't raced any 3 or 5 series BMWs, but I have tangled with 2 740s and 2 M3s. When at high speeds, I didn't get trounced too bad by the 740s... but one had 4 people in it. The M3s could walk away pretty easy, but I ALWAYS wasted 'em around the corners... which is odd since they should handle quite a bit better than the SVX. I actually took one of the M3s off the line up to about 30 or so... then as soon as he got a car length ahead, a corner, and I stroll on by.
I am pretty sure a new 330 could walk an SVX. However, the one I raced with the Aurora never even had a chance... just need to get the SVX up to par (at least) with the Aurora.
