Trust me, you don't want it. e60 SMG blows away M3 SMG as does Z4 SMG. Same hardware but improved software in e60. Now, what you want is the SMG from M5 and M6...that is killer...transmission designed completely around SMG as opposed to previous SMG's which have used normal manual transmissions.

No I think E60 has SMG II but just at a more basic level. I didnt think the US even got SMG I at all.

You are correct. M3 SMG has been around for over 3 years..in that time BMW has refined it significantly and hence the better product in the e60.

The Emmy SMG's are from a different manufacturer. The one in the non Emmy's used to be designated SSG.
