The 5 series uses the exact same getrag 5 speed gearbox as I'm running in the 3 series which has just passed 20k ev miles without a clutch and an 11" motor. Two things help here : I would only do about 20% of the shifts in an ev as i would do in an ice and secondly the getrag has very good synchros.

Now, Cole, when you shift the gear and that little needle on the ammeter goes into the red and reads 2000 Amps, that's bad.
