M Drivelogic sequential gearbox


For people who like to drive Formula One-style. The BMW M5 Sedan's 7-speed SMG Drivelogic system features gear-change keys on the steering wheel and a selection lever on the central console. Gears change within milliseconds, without having to reduce speed, decrease engine power or use a clutch. Special functions such as slip recognition or hill recognition adapt to the gear shift points required by the given driving conditions. Maximum acceleration comes courtesy of Launch Control: it ensures that speed is maintained across the entire range of gear changes.
