Movie: The Transporter

[rp911t]

Alright, i have to say that i absolutely love the '99 Black 735i Black BMW; flat out just do. Question is this: Why does he throw it in fifth gear when he jumps over the rail into the car transport truck? Also, em i right by assuming it is a 5-speed and not 6 because he throws the shift into the lower right corner and goes reverse.

Anyways, love the movie. Isn't she simply hot?

Hehehehe. Its been a while since I watched the movie but she is hot.

My guess is he does that to get the wheels spinning as fast as he can to get that kick that he needed to jump the fence.

I guess you are right about it not being a 6 speed, I mean all cars witht he wheel at left have the same position for first gear and so on except reverse switches around in some.

i think german cars are mostly reverse up next to one, though some are below 5th like most other cars tho not always. also some 6 speeds do still put it on teh right
like this.

1 3 5 R
2 4 6

they may have shown him do it that way because most people are familiar with R down there.
