In the 335i, 1 through 5 are drive gears, and 6th is an over drive.
Final drive ratio is "taller"/lower number-3.23 in the 335i MT.
That quite short final drive in the 328i is what gives the 328i MT very good 0-60 acceleration. With 5th and 6th being over drive gears, there has to be a pretty good drop between 4th and 5th, more so from 4th to 6th..
I can see why you don't really need 5th. By the time you accelerated between 1 through 4, you're probably looking for best over drive as you're at speed by then.
Give how tall 6th is, I wouldn't use it until around 55-60mph.
When you go to 6th at 50mph, what rpm is the engine at?
Just curious, how fast is the car moving at the top of 2nd, at red line?

Didnt really look but I think its way above any US speed limit
