Re: When to change gear in your M5 - here is the answer

yeah it is.. but if you take it away.. i belive that it could barely hit 300-320 wich is insane.. but 341 sounds a bit to much.. to be honest..

Re: When to change gear in your M5 - here is the answer

So actually in city driving you're keeping between 1st and 2nd gear only!

341,9 is only a theoretical, the real topspeed of a delimited M5 is 328km/h.

you can use three or four as well. Even using 7-gear at 50-60km/h and it pulls good when accelerating.
