Spied: 2012 BMW M5 Testing in Los Angeles With a Manual Transmission
Floating around LA, one of Inside Line's staff got up close to the passenger side of this M5 Noticing the driver grabbed a traditional gearshift lever, popped the car into reverse and backed away as we continued shooting. The reports from BMW have said that the 2012 M5 would come with BMW's dual-clutch DCT only, but rumors have been circulating that a manual was being considered for the U.S. market.

The H-pattern is covered leading some to speculate that there may be more than 6-gears, but most likely they're simply covering the M-badge. This 2012 BMW M5 prototype with a traditional manual proves that they're beyond the "considering" stage.
