IMO the ZF 8 speed is a great gearbox, and a much better proposition for 'around town' driving which is where most M5s spend their lives. |
You mean you want luxury gear changes, thats not what the M5 is about… go buy a Lexus. Honestly, i would have bought the new M5 by now if it wasn't for the slush box trans. Yes the F10 is clunky sometimes when maneuvering at low speeds, but its still fine around town - manuals are clunky depending on yr clutch control - but they also allow engine braking something a slush box can't do.
