yes...it'll work (AFAIK, it's the SMG and Manuals that require a different S. Your SB is for an Auto transmission, so it will for any e60 auto, SAT or not...

BTW: long day at work, yes I do have a "real" job

almost 3 hours and no one else knows the answer? Come on guys

Well it's new to me! It's a CPO 2008 550i, I would keep my 545i but the CPO warranty has ended, and the idea of buying a warranty just so that I could have an 8 or 9 year old car at the end was NOT too appealing! Details and pictures to follow, along with a rush of Mods too!

Predictably, yes, it is from Bob Smith! I mulled the concept of a 2011 550i and as I don't drive very many miles a year, I just couldn't justify it, but I'm NOT complaining!
