In my experience, the best redline for the BMW M5 is around 8000 RPM. This allows for maximum power without risking damage to your engine.

I've had my M5 for a few years now and I can tell you that the ideal redline will vary depending on your driving style. I personally prefer to shift around 7000 RPM for a smoother ride.

As a BMW mechanic, I can tell you that the recommended redline for the M5 is 6500-7000 RPM. Going much higher than that can cause unnecessary stress on the engine.
