Awesome!!!
Having had both flappy paddle and stick, how do they compare?

Having smooth shifts everytime is priceless in itself. It feels very satisfying and the shifts are smoother and more effortless than on my E46M3. Is it faster? Probably not considering the SMG can slam shift so quickly and the 7 speed has closer ratios. Have I tested it? Nope. Do I care? nope :)

Pretty darn cool. The only manual in SA?

Not quite

The Only RHD Manual sedan yes (as far as we know)

There is also a RHD E61 estate. And there use to be a E63M6 Track car that was also converted to manual.

Sorry for the stupid question, is this manual from the factory, or converted?

Great car BTW

Andy, Is it same car Gert done the coding on after the gearbox swap? Same guy you bought the previous M5 from?
