Thanks for the link CRRobert!
After closer reading I found that the 545i that was tested by Car and Driver was actually the 6speed manual tranny. They gave the following stats:
545i 6speed Manual:
0-60: 5.5 s 1/4: 14.1
From what I've read/heard the 545iSMG Automatic Mode (D1-D6) shifts as fast if not faster than the 545iA. I'm guessing if Motortrend rates the 0-60 in 5.3 and 1/4 mile at 13.8 for the automatic the SMG would have similar specs, if not faster.
juan2mini can you post the link where you found that info?

545mcz: FYI
As a follow up - a website has 2004 545i @ 0-60 = 5.3
1/4 = 13.8
2004 G35 @ 0-60 = 5.9
1/4 = 14.2
2003 e500 @ 0-60 = 5.8
1/4 = 14.3

SMG engagement was posted somewhere before I dont remember it was said that it can allow shifts faster than a highly-skilled manual drive because it is able to shift at the exact moment that a gear needs to be engaged....

It is very frustrating that the SMG has not been tested in the 545. Even the manual has not really been written-up much.
the ///M3 SMGs have had alot of exposure as it is the "complete" one....and 5er is a simplified version..
