In fact, the manual transmisison is only 6 speed, and not 7 as it's found in the SMG. That being said, the SMG M5 is a better regarded car than the e63 and the s6, and won engine of the year two years in a row, something that's never happened before or since.

by no measure is the e63 superior to the m5. fin.
Actually, I think the S54 engine has won 6 or 7 years straight.
