No, your involvement sucks.
Do you not think its just a little slower because it takes longer to press the clutch, shift, get the revs right and lift your left foot?

Maybe a bit off topic. I see this a lot that you can actually buy cars over list price in the US. How come and why would you ever do that ?
Here you can either order it at list price (+ a small discount) or you can get a discount on cars they have in stock. But I've never seen a car that's priced above list price...
Is that because they're import and you're only getting a small number (sounds logical with something like Lotus, but with BMW ? BMW is common)? Or is the same on domestic cars.

I've never driven an M5 or M6 with a stick so I have no idea. The SMG ranks just above the horrible gas milage as my least favorite things about the car and I can't wait for the DCT. Plus the auto mode is terrible and I almost never use it.
As much as I love it, the clutch is going the way of the non-syncho gearbox; both are tremendously fun but simply not practice in today's world.

I'd say the difference in acceleration has more to do with the difference in gearing between the 6 and 7 speed boxes. And there probably is a way to switch off the DSC. You're not supposed to be able switch it off in a Toyota Aurion but there's a way to do it, there's just not a button marked "Off".
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

I'll go for M5.
"The new 2005-2007 M5 features some of BMW latest innovations including a new head-up display, a new iteration of BMW's EDC (Electronic Damper Control), which constantly adjusts the suspension to environmental and vehicular conditions, and can also be set in three modes, comfort, normal and sport. Furthermore, the new M5 also features the VANOS variable valve timing system, and EMC (engine management system) which sports the most powerful computer processor currently approved for automobiles, the MS S65 processor. This processor also controls and measures many other now 'standard' safety and performance systems such as the DSC (dynamic stability program), which incorporates traction control as well as various other mechanical and electronic systems."

nah M3 sedan. It was made for the 6-speed and kind of makes the uglier M5 seem like overpriced and overweight (not that it is a light car either but better nonetheless). Plus if you want you can order the M3 without all the iDrive nonsense.
