It does have a clutch and shifter. You just don't control the clutch.
And no, it wouldn't be 8 gears. They made it 7 gears for the ratio advantages, and the only reason the SMG is the only choice for it is somewhat obvious. A stick would get quite confusing with 7 gears to choose from. It would be too easy to put in 2nd instead of 4th or even 6th.

Actually they are releasing a 6speed manual E60 M5 due to consumer demand. It will debut soon after the SMG version.

thats the M5 I'd drive, and by consumer demand, it means a LOT of people want a 6-Speed manual


i know it has a clutch but i mean a left foot clutch and a gear changer thingy, not paddle shifters

I'd love a new M5 but would never pay for it, can't get over the new look yet and the new 3 is even worse......
That new 750Li is so tight tho.

Back on topic:
Scion xB, not bad for some types but I could never ever drive it.

Even if my car caught on fire in the middle of the castro on a friday night and I had to use my pants to put the fire out and the only friend that could help me out came to pick me in his little brothers Xb,
I would still walk home.
