in my dreams. but they could come true. I mean I will save what I have, and see what heppens when I graduate in like 3 years. Its a good goal.

but mainily, I created this thread because if you know about cars, its a pretty sweet transmission setup. and BMW, as far as I know, did this beofore anyone else.

yeah, that is a sick setup

i heard that in the new maxima, theres like no gears or something like that, so you just press on the gas pedal and it accelerates on forever. (yeah that was an exaggeration, i'm sure it stops sometime)

Its the same kind of transmission that is in the Murano and in snowmobiles. A belt slides on a cone as the car goes faster and faster, changing the gear size.

To the BMW SMG transmission. I drive a new M5 SMG regularly and heres what I have to say about it. At speed, the car is flawless. When you are pushing, which is hard to do on public roads becasue the thing is so fucking fast, the transmission makes fast, clean, controled shifts. The downshift throttle blips controled by the computer are flawless, and the upshifts are extreemly quick.

However. At lower driving speeds, taking it easy persay, the BMW behaves in a somewhat confused manner. Not to say its bad, sometimes it just doesnt know what to do, so it takes the car a second or two to find the right gear.

So if your trying to throwdown hot laps on the track, SMG is definatly the way to go but if you want to really feel connected to your car three pedals and a stick make all the difference.

meh, not a big fan. it doesnt have good flow. the wheels dont fit or flow with the car. They atleast need to be 18s to pull that look off. And its completly ricer with those underlights. ghey.
