I could have taken an October delivery but opted for the November delivery which gives me a couple of weeks to change the order in case I talk myself out of the SMG and back to 6spd manual and any other option that this forum may help me decide whether I need to have.

Stay with the SMG, man! There's a reason there is an SMG cult on this forum. Everytime I park, I immediately start looking forward to my next session of paddling down the road.

6sp manual?

You'll miss the rev matching.
Don't listen to Rudy, I think he's part of some SMG clan?

Add me to the SMG clan!

It will be a very tight fit for your 3 kids. The only way to do it is to have the seat placed in the center and on the side. Your 12 year daughter will have to coast her back on the slanted side bolster. No sedans are comfortable with 2 bulky child seats in the back.

Anyone notice that 550i's with 6sp or SMG get hit with a $1000 GG tax? I think I remember that the E39 540i got hit with it, too. The 545 wasn't subject to a GG tax.
