Very annoying that I have to be either slower or faster (A big No No here) than surrounding traffic.

I have heard this is common in the 7 series with the same transmission as well.
FYI to all you who followed this thread. Transmission lost 5th gear and failed soon after and required a rebuild. Rebuilder told me this issue is common with this transmission.
