BMW E60 M5 RPM at 60 MPH and top speed in Top Gear for both SMG and 6-Speed

Question

I wasn't sure where to look for this info so I just decided to ask. What is the RPM at 60 MPH in 7th gear (SMG III) and 6th gear for manual. Also what is the top speed for both at redline in top gear. Perferablly answers from those that own an E60 M5. Thanks

Answer 1

the rpm in top gear should be very low at 60 mph. around 700 im guessing.

i have a 1997 528i (less powerful, has to wrk harder, so it revvs higher at 60 than an m5 would) and it can cruise at 1000 rpms at 60 mph.

and top speed of a new m5 is limited at 155 mph.
