They’re a damn sight more rewarding and fulfilling for most enthusiasts than your C350 6-speed manual.

It’s often the case that successful professionals tend to live and drive in “suburbia,” yes?
nlpamg has, in fact, participated in closed course driving events with several MBW members. Pictures and videos of his motoring skill have been posted here several times, even since your johnny-come-lately presence. He knows how to get after it. Suggest you henceforth tread lightly.

Kindly forgive the thread jack, e1000.
Thank you, Splinter.

Adidas, it's no use arguing with you. I'll take your opinions with a grain of salt, you were driving a borrowed M5 that you couldn't get on because it could mean the loss of your job. I've owned my M5 (which I am the original owner of) for close to two years already and drive it in horrible LA traffic DAILY without any problems. Prior to that, I owned an SMG-II M3 that I had no problems with in traffic. As John said, I've tracked my M5, the M5's in BMW's Performance Center and have enjoyed every minute of it.

As far as why they have the 6-speed, the 6-speed wasn't even made for the car. The SMG-III is significantly faster than the 6-speed which was only put in as an after-thought due to the clamoring from supposed enthusiasts. If SMG were so bad, why would BMW use it in the M3 CSL and the unreleased M5 CSL?

Go ahead and talk all you want. Fact of the matter is, I OWN an M5 and your opinions don't really affect me.

M5 with SMG is pretty sick. He is making up a story about his dream car the C350 6MT and said it was amazing the transmission is great then he knocks the SMG which has 10 times better tranny?

That little boy is confused..ahhh the youth these days
