E60 M5 had a redline of ~8,250, this F10's redline seems to be around 7,500 which is really good for a turbocharged V8. There are hardly any turbocharged vehicles that have a redline over 7,000 while still being able to deliver a lot of midrange torque and have their turbo spool quickly, the only one which really goes above this limit is the new McLaren MP4-12c. An Evo's redline is 8,000 but it has a gigantic turbo and suffers from quite a lot of lag.
