Just Bought An E60 M5 Few Questions.

[Bish155]

Hi, I have just purchased a lovely 56 plate e60 m5. If I put it in Drive mode the display on the dash will only display D1 or D2. Now I assumed that I would see D3 D4 and D5, I can move the selector up but it doesn't say anything other than D1 or 2. What's wrong with it?

its because the smg transmission will only allow those 2 gears to be selected at low speed or stand still, also when your say doing 20 mph it wont let you select 6 and 7 gears its just to improve driveability by stoping you selecting to high gear, hope that makes sense
