125i not revving over ~3500rpm on standstill?

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find a topic on it.

My car is almost run in so it's time to start trying dumb things

So today I noticed that I couldn't rev past ~3500rpm on standstill with the clutch pressed or the gearbox sitting in Neutral. When the car is moving, I can rev it to redline with the clutch in, so there's obviously some computer at work here.

Obviously there isn't much point in revving to redline when standing still, so I'm not bothered, but I'm still wondering what the "feature" is and if anyone else noticed the same?

- Rick
