    wow, SMG does make a convincing difference, but performance isn't just about speed, the stick is a more aprropriate choice for this car

    Somebody know the nonlimited topspeed with the manual gearbox? I read just over 300 km/h somewhere and wonder if that maybe could be it? Info please!

    6-speed:
    1st: 44mph
    2nd: 75mph
    3rd: 114mph
    4th: 151mph
    5th: 180mph
    6th: 207mph

    7-bak SMGIII:

    1st: 45mph
    2nd: 68mph
    3rd: 100mph
    4th: 130mph
    5th: 155mph
    6th: 180mph
    7th: 207mph

    Accoording to these numbers, the topspeed should be the same for SMG/6spd

    There is some fierce rivalry between SMG and 6-speed owners on the M5board. Most buyers have their own reasons for buying either of course, but their words are the best source.

    Apparently BMW thinks the car might break easily with manual + no DSC combo.

    Autocar tested a RS4 and it got to 150mph in 25.3secs, only two behind the manual M5. The other split times are about the same, including the 1/4mile time.

    It's understandable that the M5 will start to pulls away from around the 135mph because still it shows how quick the wee RS4 is.
    Search and you will find the truth.
