You insist that your car revs to 5.5k despite all the evidence that it doesn't. Hence the calls for you to prove it with a video.
Requests don’t mean your given the ask does it. Lots said this 320d doesn’t rev to 5,500rpm and many said beyond 4K revs the rev counter is there for the sake of it you cannot rev it to the redline as it will change up.... well Autocar have maximum achieved speeds at 5,200rpm in all gears where it could pull that all but 7/8th I believe

VBH and Fifth Gear states otherwise + the rev range is different in those cars look at the 313bhp version or 320bhp version for example.
Plus stop digging
I've got the B57 320hp version in my 740d it's a nonsense to say the engine will rev usefully to 5500rpm it would be dying a death up there, feels natural to change up at 4.5k even when your foot is to the floor in fact if you use LC it does just that.Plus stop digging
Diesels to their best work from 2-4k maximum power is at 4k in the B57

As for how I drive mine I’m as you 1,800-4,500 rpm that’s clearly when having some progress whereas in D comfort it’s possibly never going above 2k - I don’t tend to look at the EV counter when pootling about.

Mine revs beyond the redline - the limited/cutout is not where it goes red but into it.

As a dr you should be able to see what it’s limitations are if it’s redline is at 5,500rpm and you believe it slaps its limited at 5k why have it when no other BMW ever pre or post has a red line set too high for it to rev to.
It doesn't rev to >5500. It doesn't even rev to 5000. It just doesn't, the most the auto will rev to is 4750 despite your claims that it revs well beyond the redline.

It does. Wills2 also verified it does rev to 5,50 on this very page in his old 335d and his curren 740d.
Why do you keep disbelieving the reality?

Feel free to quote Wills2 "on this very page" where he says it revs to 5500 though because he doesn't say it!
