I want, no, I need to raise the rev limiter for a good 300-400rpm, why? Because this is an n/a engine that makes it's power up top and even though it might drop a little after where it's making it's peak hp, the gain you get by falling upper in the rpm ranger in the next gear when you shift more than compensates and even more.

I had this experience with every n/a car I had, those few hundred rpms make a difference.

I read a lot of threads on this, and I remember in one of them someone mentioning that OE tune was able to do it, but that it ended up reseting it's self back to factory setting, isn't there anyone that can just increase the rev limiter on an auto 330i?
So why exactly do you need this? It is evident the hp drops off rapidly ~6600. I don't rev that high even on the track. How often do you bump the rev limit?
