The BMW already has a 6th gear and I shift to it at around 80-85 mph and it is a tall gear. Just a few stats for the curious:
F6B 850 lbs, 118 HP, 123 torque, 11.84 1/4 mile at 110.97 mph and an electronically limited top speed of 124 mph.
BMW 650 lbs, 160 HP, 130 torque, 10.89 1/4 mile at 122.13 mph and a non limited top speed of 155 mph.
Okay, I am too lazy to do the research. Since you mentioned the BMW has a 6th speed, it would be interesting to know what the RPM's are compared to the F6 in top gear. Anyone know?

I am going to guess that they are real close and if anything, the BMW is actually higher. But, I am a crappy guesser ...
