No 7th gear

The other day while riding, I thought I was in 5th gear and tried to shift into 6th. Well, I was already in 6th at a nice relaxing leisurely pace. But all of a sudden I found myself in neutral, revved it up high, nearly shat myself, reshifted again and was back in 6th gear. I tried to do it again on purpose a couple times and was unsuccessfull, it shifts really well. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone think there may be a problem? Or maybe it was just 'something that happened'. It hasn't happened again, so I hope it was just a fluke. By the way, when I say neutral, I mean the green "N" was not lit, the engine just revved like it was in neutral.(No the clutch wasn't applied at the time.) It's an '02 D955i with 10,000 km on it(I just bought it a month and a half ago. I wasn't riding it too hard or fast either, it happened at about 100km/h.
