My Ride: 09 M5 (E60) Interlagos blue, Silverstone interior, with cold weather package. Adaptive Xenon headlamps and adaptive brake lights, hud, comfort access. Comfort seats, basically fully loaded.
I know enuff about SMG by now but what is the manual like?... What about the gear settings? Power? Damping controls? cuz i dun see any next to the gear box as they are on the SMG. Is it just as fun as the SMG? Most CPO's are manual and we know y... but would a manual cut it over an SMG?... Do they have similar options? I know it all about preferences but still... Also are they're any differences b/w 07 to 2010? cuz i am going big this time... Thanx for the inputs i appreciate it>... (The 06 is too much of a headache thinkin about what might go wrong and when?)

you live in NYC, you shouldnt be driving a manual, also with the manual you can not turn DSC completely off, i've read that manual transmission is alot more restrictive than the SMG.

Manual is definitely going to be more reliable. And you CAN in fact turn DSC fully off with manual M5s. If the car in question does not do it then you simply need to take it to the dealer for a software update to allow it to fully disengage DSC

My Ride: 545i/6
I have a manual 04 545i and can fully disengage DSC by simply holding down the DSC button for approx 5 seconds. If I simply push the button it only parcially disengages DSC. Sorry to revive an old thread but unless I'm missing something you can fully disengage DSC in a manual 545i.
