SMG vs. manual?

I agree, unless BMW is positive that the gearbox will shift faster than the SMG then they wouldn't use it, as there would be no point to it.

As for a 7-Speed manual, I will wait to see that!

If BMW does the same with the new M3 there will certainly be significant trade offs either way.

In my brothers stick M6 if you hold the MDM button for more than 5 seconds traction turns off!... what do u mean impossible?
