For what it was, it was a great tranmission. It was a racecar transmission in a family sedan. What did you expect?
It was not nearly as bad as the F1 transmissions in the Maserati Quattroporte or the Gransport. For cars during that time period with F1 transmissions it was definitely a good one.
Was the M5 meant to be driven in the city? No. Was the Gallardo or Aventador? No. When the M5 is on a track, it's outrageously fun and serves its purpose well. I drove it in the city all the time and yes, it wasn't fun, but I had to remind myself what it was at times.
