Agreed, the M3 was clearly in transport mode and the redline limiter was set to 4500 RPM. My car came from the port like this when I bought it at the dealer. I didn't order it but it had 2 miles on it from it being put on and taken off the transport ship. No big deal, no one is going to harm it in 2 miles. The bigger risk is buying one with 40-50 miles on it that has been hot rodded with test drives. The salesguy at my local BMW place told me that some idiot took am M5 to 135 on Parmer with him in it during a test drive. I am sure that redlined it, more than once in fact.
