I thought the 6-speed M5s were to debut this fall? I entertained thoughts of getting a M5 myself a few weeks back and was looking into it and came across threads about the 6-speed M5s on M5board, I think.

I'll probably be getting one when it's all said and done but right now, I have to wait until after October.

As to not stray too far from the subject, here is a link to the M5board where someone mentions that you can order a 6-speed M5. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=80662
