BMW M5 6-Speed Manual Transmission: Richter Disappointed

BMW M5 6-Speed Manual Transmission: Richter Disappointed In Los Angeles: Chief of BMW's M division Gerhard Richter was somewhat disappointed when he announced that the BMW M5 would be made available on a six-speed manual transmission this year. According to Richter the six-speed manual transmission makes the M5 slower as compared to those cars with seven-speed electrohydraulic-activated, sequential-manual gearbox or SMG.

Richter is right when he said that the six-speed transmission manual would make the M5 slower but there is a good side of it since you will be able to control this car even at high speed. And that is a good thing, right?
