Re: bmw-digest V9 #586

Problem?, What problem? You over-revved your engine. Nick is right  
on the money. Is this your first manual shift vehicle? Might make  
sense to practice with a beater until you've got it down, not a  
$45,000 car. The answer to your problem may be the 4 door automatic.  
Should BMW pay if you lift and crash in a high speed corner? It's  
not a manufacturers defect. I can hear the lawyers saying "let's see  
how long we can drag this one out, those BMW owners have deep  
pockets"  Blame? Accept the consequence of your mistake.

Subject: '95 M3 Over-Rev/Class action law suit?
Need information about the E36 class action lawsuit. I also  
over-revved my
'95 M3 motor. I feel that BMW should share some of the blame, at  
least sell
me an engine at a discount. Even Automobile magazine says it is easy to
miss a shift in the '99 M-Coupes. Will BMW ever add protection  
against this
problem?
