If I'm not mistaken they disappear incrementally as the engine warms up, because you should never rev a car too hard from cold. Think of them as progressive redline markers. They dont actually stop you revving higher but are a good guide as to where is the sympathetic maximum for the engine.

As quattrotom said, its a guide to stop over-reving the car when its cold. A system that now appears on all the M power cars, a good idea, however would be better if it has a movable limiter tied in with the LED's

Love it - really nice - gorgeous colour.

[cableguy]

Stunning car and a great find 03 MY with low miles are hard to come by.

I still miss my e39 M5, they're superb motors that can carry 5 in comfort with supercar performance.

Enjoy and safe driving.

Simply perfect

[Cabana]

That's lovely, about as perfect as an M5 can be.

Have fun with it, although it's hard not to I suppose!

[Greendubber]

IMO the E39 was the pinnacle of the M5s, hard not to resist really!

thats a stunning looking example!
