Default BMW 645 Coupe

Hi all - test drove a 645 at the weekend - auto box. Lovely engine, but I fancy the SMG. Garage can't get hold of one for me to test, so I'm left huting round message boards to see what people think. I've read mixed views of BMW's SMG box - good for M3, poor on 330Ci and lower models - I assume they are different boxes.

Anyway, what I'm interested in is people's first hand views of the SMG box in the 6 series - assume it's the same smg box on a 630 and 645? I'd go for it if I thought it could be set up for nice smooth changes (with the kids and wife on board), then more racey on my own

Anyone driven one?

Cheers...

Have you tried pistonheads.com? You might possibly get a better response over there.

Kids onboard. Have you sat in the back?
I've had two lifts in my mates 645 manual, funny looking car but a great drive and a very vocal engine/exhaust for a BMW.
