I looked at 540i's and some where equiped with the SMG. That transmission in that car was a failure in every way. They stopped producing them after only a year of production and even the salesman selling used ones talked my out of considering them. From a performance standpoint, they had the advantages. From a practical standpoint, driving in traffic and at less then performance speeds, the car drove rough and uncharacteristic for a $60k car. Either go with a 6 speed or tiptronic, at least in the BMW.
