I don't get the whole "keep it away from redline" thing. If the crankshaft is balanced it's balanced. Right? and if the tolerances allow a bit of slap at the bearings, that is another thing...
Does this go back to the original issues with the S54 at the launch of the e46 M3?
The crank bearings were suspect then also... as out of spec from the vendor...
but perhaps this is "the" wear item of the S54.
