I know what the results will be.
First place: Step
Second place: SMG
Third place: Manual
I think that is about the right ratio of e60 owners on this board with the respective transmissions. Of course you know what my vote will be.

My Ride: Black on Black 545i Auto, Sport, NAV, Sirius, Cold Weather
Wifey drives an X5 4.4 with Sport
I voted auto, mainly because I would look like a tool voting for SMG and owning an auto. I test drove the SMG and liked it, but knowing my wife would drive it occasionally, I opted for the Auto and have been more than happy with the choice. I must say however, that when the newer version of SMG comes out, I will definitely be opting for that. She'll get used to it.

Results will be what people buy... how many cars are sold... not enough people know how to drive manual cars properly to vote for them... and not enough people have spent enough time behind a SMG to say that they prefer it over the slushbox.
