I remember the pain of waiting for my e46 M3 - 6 months of anticipation. My 550 was a different story. I had ordered a 330i and discovered that the engines were to be changing fairly soon. It just so happened that they had a 550, a car I had dreamed about, on the showroom floor optioned just about exactly to my specifications. The next day I bought the 550.

I would be going nuts waiting haha. I will be curious to hear what you think of SMG in the 550i. I have driven SMG in two seperate E46 M3's and I found anything below S5 to be too slow for my tastes even though I do know S4 and below are typically quicker than manual driving but since your just sitting there, you feel that delay.
