I haven't seen any reputable tests for the N52 with the SMG or manual. I'd expect low-6 second times. Maybe a half second improvement or so.

and I see from the description of the video that car is an SMG - should be the same.
SMG is different from manual .
But ARH doesn't have SMG but the steptronic .
ARH, pls correct that description!

I meant it should be the same 0-60 time... not the same transmission, although it shares the same rear-end gearing and final drive ratio that the manual has. The Step doesn't. Oh, and thanks for pointing out that A-R-H doesn't have an SMG.
