BMW refers to thier box as "a 7 speed manual sequential with electro\hydraulic actuation" and you can not go from high gear to low gear without hitting all gears in between. Albeit, you can go into neutral via the shift lever at any time.
On the other hand, Fortin and Mendeola transmissions are true sequentials due to the fact shifting takes place via a drum mechanism. And as you mentioned, neutral can not be had from any gear higher than 1st.
Not to be a pain in the a.s, only for the correct form.
Thanks for your superior understanding.
