BMW has 6 and 7 speed auto's plus a 6 speed dual-clutch gearbox (sequential manual gearbox). It works like mechanically like a manual but the driver uses it like an automatic. Those are the paddle shifters that are really fast to shift. They basically have 1 clutch for odd numbered gears and one for even. So if you are in 3rd, 2nd and 4th are already clutched up so you can slam into either.
