This brings up a question that I've always had. What constitutes an
overdrive gear. I always assumed it meant a ratio of less that 1:1.
Kinda like .80:1 with my 5th gear. Is that all it is, or are the gears
actually physically different? Hope it's not too off topic.

IIRC the American spec M3 has a different gearbox than the Euro spec
models
where fifth is an overdrive rather than another "proper" gear
