For every lemon there are many many satisfied owners, like myself. Just as there are here. At least one IS300 owner here destroyed his engine (or his sister destroyed his engine) on the first day of ownership! I haven't heard about THAT happening to a BMW fresh from a dealer!Originally posted by cardinal_creek:

I'm not sure how high she revved it, but you'd think there would be a rev limiter if it were easy to do this. This is an _automatic_ after all. By the way, there was a short production run of M3s several years ago that had a somewhat similar problem. Over-revving (the _manual_ transmission car) could cause serious problems. BMW acknowledged the defect and corrected it.Originally posted by mrclam:
young, are you crazy ? if you over rev the engine once, even if its not in gear, way past where its supposed to be(i dont' know if the law of physics allows it) you will blow that engine
Can you say "Rev-Limiter" Yes the IS300 has one. And NO It won't Blow the engine.Originally posted by mrclam:
