For some ppl the SMG will be too hard. It shifts so fast that it is almost impossible to shift smooth. That's why a lot of ppl want it with a mnual tranny.

Even at the slowest setting? I thought slowest setting would be a little slower than what a human can shift...
How fast is the SMG in the 530 and 545 compared to the M5?

Oh ya... I know.. but wonder within those settings in the M say its fastest is 60ms and slowest is 120ms with 4 other settings in between...
whats the regular 530 and 545 SMGs shift speed?
100ms? in regular mode? and 90ms in Sports?
I ment that... I want to compare how slow or fast the regular SMG is compared to the M5s

I have driven the car and thought that in D mode it was no big problem to shift smooth. The D mode was actually the thing that impressed me most.
I knew that the S modes would be fast and brutal, but was a little afraid that the d mode would be jerky. It wasn?t jerky at all IMO.
