Rusbel,
Aside from the ability to handle the torque, the 7-speed is geared for the much higher revving 6.3, and would not function well to the rpm ranges of our motors.

The 55 has such a wide power band, even the 5 speed is over kill. The 63 on the other hand has a narrow power band and needs more (2) reductions and closer ratios to keep engine in the power band. Unless you love to shift an auto box, 7 speed in an E55 might be a little busy. I must admit a 6 speed manual in an E55 would be interesting.
If we ever see a super charged 63 it will be interesting to see fate of the 7G.
