I am curious as to how the 6 speeds are used in the M5? I spoke to a guy who saw my M6 and he told me his brotherinlaw had a newer M5 that he drove. He told me that he never used first gear and just started the car moving in second. (Can this be? It's like driving a 67 Chevy pickup with a four speed manual transmission--are you M5 owners running around with "granny gears." Enlighten me.
