SMG is awesome. The auto mode sux inmy opinion. The last time it was used was at the meet so that FF could try all options.
As you can tell, I do not think there is one person who has not enjoyed SMG since they have owned it.

The SMG has a "auto" mode also. How does it compare to the steptronic auto mode.

Rudy said it right allready, you can't compare it...
The Auto mode on the SMG is more likely a "safety" thing, what prevents overrevving the engine and shifts just before you would do so...
It's not smooth at all... Total different than automatic...

Finally, I think that SueBMW decided to go the Lemon Law route (as I did also consider) because her dealer(s) would not intervene on her behalf.

Sue BMW is a "Male" homosapien I think. Sue is not a name, but a verb, as "to sue" BMW.

Get the 545i with SMG (Sub Machine Gun)

Otherwise if you don't, you'll be thinking i could've had a V8!
