[QUOTE="Riezal-R, post: 235834, member: 4475"] I've been driving the SMG/SSG for 5 days now and I don't think its that bad at all. Yes, it could be improved (which BMW has done with SMG II & III), but the SMG/SSG isn't all that bad. It is loads of fun to drive once you get to know how the gearbox works and the best way to drive it. It needs to be treated just like a manual. Only difference is that the computer controls the clutch for you. Easing off the throttle when changing gears and understanding when the gears would shift, helps to smoothen the ride. No more jerks. It takes a bit more effort compared to driving a normal automatic, but its something that I do not mind at all. The only slight problem I'm facing at the moment, is that the car does not like to be driven at slow speeds! The gearshifts and ride is much smoother at high speeds, compared to driving at slow speeds. [/QUOTE]
