5-6-7 Gears seem horribly geared on the DCT, i would like to hear a BMW engineers explanation on the entire gearing of DCT with its 7 gears, seems they are not utilizing all 7 gears very well.
Yes, there is no reduction in 7th. Since the final drive is taller (numerically lower) in the DCT car, actual gearing in 7th is still taller than the OD 6th in the MT6.

What are the issues you see in 5-6-7?
