RPMs at Highway Speeds

mcmastah · 03-22-2014, 10:55 AM

Long story short, I havent driven my 335i in a long time and yesterday wass the first time I took it out on a highway cruise since putting it back on insurance. Can anybody tell me what RPMS they're seeing or were supposed to be getting cruising at speeds of 100 km/h to 120 km/h? At 100 km/h I am seeing the rpms at 1900 while at 110 to 120 its at 2000-2300 rpms...is this normal? I'm only asking this because I remember at 120 km/h the rpms were at 1900 or am I just making stuff up in my mind?. 08 335i 6AT. Any help would be appreciated.

sounds about right, though I think it depends on how hard you push it. You should be worried if your at 3000rpm @ 100km/h though.
