Isnt the 530 a V6 with a 5 speed tranny?
and I don't think the company has made a 5-speed in a 5er in a while either for that matter

Other than the fact that BMW doesn't make a V6 at all...

Just my luck. I should have expected a response from you. You always seem to catch my sporadic momentary lapses of reason. I am now acutely aware of my silly error and I sincerely apologize to all of my fellow E60ians for my mistake and I vow to never ever let it happen again. Please forgive me.

Hehe...it's all good buddy. We're just having a lil fun!
It's quite common to make such a mistake when so few cars use the inline 6 configuration.

I agree. I threw caution to the wind when I got the E63 by letting hollywoodtrash do a few runs to redline with less than 100 miles. My next Euro delivery in 2010 for a BMW, I'll be sure to take it to the limiter just like you did with your new baby. 
Then, they complain about transmission not shifting right, etc. and have to go do the "25 sec." thing. "Wait . . . wait . . . let me do the 25 sec. reset and I'll race you . . ."
