It is all good. I have a sarcastic side. You made your statement with such "conviction" I could not help myself.

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>...

For what it is worth, my 2006 M-5 SMG was crude compared to my "double-clutch" M-3. Double-clutch is amazingly smooth and incredibly fast. I will trade in my M-3 when the new F-10 M model appears.

I would not waste time on manuel transmission. My prediction is that the double-clutch will replace the manuel in all M models within the next 3 to 4 years.

Hope that helps1
