Yikes... so in theory... 2013 is the last year for the 6 speed in the 550i, except for M5? And 535i?
From what I read above, I think you're right. As a former owner of an E39 540i/6, I know how much of a big deal this loss is. V8 torque mated to that gearbox is just something that has to be experienced.

Guess I'm picking up an LCI F10 M5 before they kill off the 6-speed in that car also.
