I had the regular Tubi on my E60 M5 and it was TOO QUIET. Maybe I needed the Tubi Rumore.

V10 reliability is awful compared the E92 M3 (and mine is supercharged!). The pause between shifts is a PITA in rush hour traffic. DCT is so much better and makes the M3 so much more usable 90% of the time. SMG easily adds 2-3 seconds to 0-60 times when you are not at redline. Basically in the M5 you were either doing 0-60 in 4 seconds or 8 seconds. Nothing really in-between. It got old after a while. It was great on the highway above 55mph though.
