Not sure his buddy will still be his buddy after watching this video...

My M2 has now 1,300 KM and I was a little concerned because I let the DCT on automatic mode some times and the car hit the 6000 RPM few times when passing other vehicles, but after seeing that video I'm not concerned anymore...
