I had the same issue when I swapped my 1.9L Z3 for a 2.8 M52. idle was normal but the revs climbed so fast and the needle flew past 7K. Coupled with loud MAgnaflow exhaust it raised some eyebrows.

it's a 323i '85 chassis/motor, but with (what i suspect to be ) a 318i cluster.
It's not that bad, it just looks like i live on the redline..

Late model clusters are backwards compatible throw a moto meter in there from a 87+ 325i and you should be money.
