You said if you are fond of SMG then wait. There is no longer any SMG to wait for.

It has been discontinued.

It is simple: if you are missing SMG (which is apparently discontinued) wait for Sport Auto box and you shall be rewarded.

And the relationship between SMG and the sports automatic gearbox on a 535d is????

BTW do we have SMG on standard range e60 in EU? I really dunno. I haven't looked at the 550i (which sells very few here)... But the OP is talking about 535d and appears to have a fairly "British" name... But we can all make mistakes...

It is simple: both have paddles and quicker shifts than standard autobox. So it is easier to make a decision for the author of the thread when he contemplates
whether to order now or later for June.

SMG has paddles?

Are you entirely sure?

Remember there's a world of difference between "have paddles" and "can have paddles".
