I disagree. I think the engineers picked a 6th gear ratio either for cruising the German Autobahns at speeds significantly higher than 70 or for maximum speed.
I find one of the joys of driving a manual transmission is to find the right gear for each situation. I have seen some people who run through the gears as fast as possible to get to the top gear and leave it there. I would recommend those people get an automatic transmission. |
Based on what you just said, I am starting to realize there is no point in debating this further with you.
BOT, if this drone is as bad as most have asserted, I think the reason is BMW engineers might have been pressed for time and didn't have the luxury to test various exhaust designs for a few months. This car had to go to production asap!
