Yes, I'd heard the same rumor but will be equally happy with a 6-speed. I've driven a C2S with 7-speed manual, and that engine is definitely enhanced with the bonus gear. I'm not sure BMW adding the 7th cog isn't more from a "keeping up with the Jonse's" than performance enhancement since the turbo M5/6 's torque curve is pretty flat.
