Are you talking about the stick or the steering padels? If you are talking about the steering padels, I think both of them if pulled, they upshift, and if pushed they downshift. Try that.
I do not have them myself, so not 100% sure.

This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
And I've been thinkin - I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

Ok Voize, yep, both buttons does down and up, but it depends where you press it, is where you down shift or upshift. I think to the front of the button , away from you down shifts, and closer to you upshifts or vice versa...but yeah, you can just upshift with just one side...really weird...but anyway,... haha i gotta learn how to use it...today I ****ed up and my electric gate hit my front amg bumper, luckily it didn't hit the body paint but my license plate holder...

AFAIK you cannot over-rev the 7G. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

You can't over rev the MT either, unless on the downshift, but that would be clumsy. (Ynot would probably do this ?)
When you hold the downshift button in, it will just select the lowest gear possible, its not alway's the optimum. Especially not in the 55 where you have LOADS of torque.
