This gives a value of 4,913. 4,913 is divided by the 6,500 RPM Redline, giving a final answer of 75.58%. Seventy-five point fifty-eight or rounded up to 76 percent, which is the average price of a Certified BMW, compared to its original price.


    No. See: Cinco de mayo. Revolution. Independence. Celebrate 6,500 revolutions. Per minute... Never mind.

    Educational Note:

    Cinco de Mayo isn't Mexico's independence day. It celebrates the battle of Puebla, when Mexico defeated the French and ended a 15 year occupation. Mexico's independence (from Spain) is celebrated September 16th.

    I find it so funny that even Mexican Americans think Cinco de Mayo is Mexico independence.

    You should go to any large or even medium size city in Mexico sometime Colin. Seeing BMW's, MB's, Porsche's, Audi's is an every day thing. I've seen a Ferrari 360 and a Lambo Gallardo here in Queretaro. There is even a Silver McLaren SLR and the local MB dealer here. I'll try to drop by and take some pics of it.
