Question Two M6 questions

I talked to the local BMW dealer about possibly purchasing either a black or white 07 M6 coupe sitting on the lot. The Black coupe is around $112K list and is a manual shift and the white coupe is slightly less (around $111K) and is an SMG.

My questions are 1.) What is a good price for each car? and 2.) Which is faster the SMG or the manual shift?

From what I have heard and read there is no comparison... SMG is the better of the two....

'05 SL65
I had an 06 M6 with SMG. I drove it for a year but could not get used to the transmission. I finally traded it for an SL65. They introduced the manual transmission for the 07 MY because many people don't like the SMG. I think it's great for very aggresive driving but how often can you do that on city streets? In slower more relaxed normal driving it sucks. The auto mode is even worse. You should test drive both.
