I also have an F80 CS. I have to downshift to do the same operation I complete without a downshift on the E92
I think all 6 speeds (and now 7 speeds) are stupid. Have you EVER needed to use 6th on a racetrack? I never have. Personally, I think that 1st through 5th should be like a proper race box and 6th should be a proper overdrive. Not this 0.872 bullshit.

As for 7 speed manuals - what in the absolute fresh hell is the point of that abomination???

Sorry for getting off topic.
