Don’t lug the engine.....
....keep her above 3,000 RPM all the time.
When you first start her up, be gentle on the throttle and keep her below 4,000 RPM until the temperature hits 180.
Once she’s warmed up, shift her at 6,000 RPM all day long and enjoy life.
On the highway, these German cars are geared for the Autobahn, so you might not ever get into Fifth Gear.
Use the gear that keeps you around 3,000 RPM when cruising. If that’s Fourth Gear, then fine. Use Fifth when you are really driving at high speed.
Enjoy!
