all the transmissions have 6 speeds.
Do you mean the manual 6 speed vs the SMG vs the Steptronic?

I agree...the manual 545 is an absolute blast to drive. Especially on twisties...the sharper the turn the better. I have not felt out of control yet no matter how hard I push it. Maybe I'm not pushing hard enough?

6-speed manual is great, but SueBMW is having problem with the clutch. I prefer SMG to 6-spd manual because during cornering, you can have both hands on the steering wheel while shifting out of corner. This makes you have more confident going thru corners.
