congratulations! Can I ask if you got to drive the SMG before you bought the car? I want an SMG, but I dont have an opportunity to drive one as the dealers dont have any on the lots.

My Ride: 2006 550i SMG

Nice to finally see my cars stable mate! It was an exciting wait for both of us. One of my favorite parts is how the car electronically beeps when you lock it so you know it locked. My 330i didn't do that. The 550i SMG is so great I don't even mind the way it shifts in normal or Auto modes...which is great for me since I sit in a lof of traffic. Congrats!

"delirium :congratulations! Can I ask if you got to drive the SMG before you bought the car? I want an SMG, but I dont have an opportunity to drive one as the dealers dont have any on the lots."

Yes i did drive a 645 SMG, my brother in law has a 645 SMG, and I have also driven some M3s. I would say SMG is something that you need to drive to see if you personally like it. Depends on your driving style and also if you want to "re-learn" your shifting. It is a blast to drive, and the feel is unlike any other. Responsiveness and overall performance are improved.

Helola, thanks for the comments, I agree with comfort access!!
We shpould push for a so cal meet in january!
