Manual. SMG is intriguing though because of quicker shifts and precision rev matching.

As long as BMW makes them, mine will be manuals....
It allows a connection between car and driver that I just do not feel in the Step.
SMG is intruiging, but I like the M version, not the E60 version...

Manual. Nothing is better than performing your own perfect matched rev downshift.
