Hi anyone know where the 7 gear layout is? I know i saw a pic of it but I cant seem to find it anymore. I ran countless searches. I should have saved it but I didnt... it was a nice technical drawing of the new M5 transmission I think where the gears were all weird.

Almost like

1 5 2 7 R
3 4 6

Anyone know which pic I'm talking about? I think it was a scan from a magazine or somthing.

How fast will you be going in 7th gear? How often will it be used?

I think it should still be very useable on the highway above 60 MPH for cruising... Since they did say the gears are very close to each other... the RPMs cant be too much lower than the manual 6th gear... *shrugs* I dunno...
