[quote][i]Originally posted by Stu[/i] Ive got the SMGIII on the M5 and after my old auto RS6 I swore I would never have another auto. When I looked at the M5 I hadnt really done my homework and thought the SMG was a glorified automatic much like the RS6.......its really not! As people have said its a 7 speed manual with a twin plate clutch which is operated hydraulically. It can change gear in milliseconds, far quicker than anyone with a clutch and stick could and you lose none of the feel of the car either! Dont drive an auto and try and compare it to an SMG as it isnt the same and dont let the internet scaremongers put you off either! SMG has its problems but every high performance car has its reliability issues somewhere! When my BMW warranty runs out in a few months I have had a quote off warranty direct for £490 for 13 months. And I know what people will say to this, they arent worth the paper they are written on! (probably the same people that slag SMG gearboxes off even though the closest they have been to an SMG gearbox is driving past their local BMW dealer) [/quote]
