Pennetta and Rudy:
Now that you both have some time with the SAT - the $64,000 Question.
If the SMG was still available, which one would you get? I must surrender my SMG for an SAT in a few weeks and i am afraid I am going to miss it.

None what so ever..............in blazing hot Texas.
Stock for stock similar drivers, 550i will win over 535i, but how much not sure. At this point, I am happy with the 535i pick up from rolling start, it's almost too fast for me.
But next year when I am rather bored I'll chipped it, hope I can make my mind to go either with Xede (activeautowerke) or Procede (Vishnu tuning) by then.

I would get the SMG. The SA is faster shifting but the SMG was very cool with a better mechanical feel. I liked that it did not shift smooth and you always knew it was a manual and not an auto. It also gave a uniqueness that only the M's now have. The SA is too close to the steptronic in operation and non-exclusivity.
. . . confirming my worst fears . . .
