The info I have is clear (for Canada at least). M Sport Pak will include 19" wheels. The regular Sport Pak already has the 18" wheels.

Oh its the M3 wheels? Forget it. I thought it was the #166 wheels! I think I rather have #124 than #172. But 19" #124!
Now it makes for a harder decision on the Canada M SPort Pack for me "IF" I had to chose...

Why in the world would BMW discontinue SMG?? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me - especially when the 7 speed SMG is the only transmission offered on the M5.
Anyone know what's up? Does BMW have a DSG transmission in the works?
