That is one major reason I am shying away from the M5, because I though the SMG was too slow shifting. If that phucker shifts like that M6, I may have to reconsider. Somebody fill me in!

edit: Isn't the M6 only available in SMG? I am tripping out here...because if that M5 shifts like that, omfg, I may have to buy one.
That is a Euro M6 with SMG3. He is using Euro launch control.

M5 / M6s in North America are available with 6MT because some marketing knobs at BMWUSA thought it was a good idea. Now the 6MTs are collecting dust on the dealer lots.

Here is a US M6 with SMG3. You can hear the chirp for awhile...
