Fellow M5 Owners:
I have been driving my new to me M5 for about 4 weeks. The car runs great...but I have two general questions on the gearbox.
1. Do you find the gearbox somewhat noisy? Mine seems to make more noise than I expected. No big crunches or whines...but you know it is there. Especially when the transmission comes off load.
2. Do you find that the tranmission transmits a decent amount of heat through the gearshifter boot and tunnel? Nothing major but you can definitely feel some heat there after the car runs for a while
The transmission shifts perfectly. It never grinds nor pops out of gear and downshifts at revs with no issues. It is very smooth.
Am I being anal? Or should I check more closely?
