The new M5 wasn't going to be offered with a manual gearbox, until enthusiasts complained.. And the manual is still only for the American market. True, it has an SMG, but its not a real manual.

There's a late-90s 528i near me who has an M badge on the back of his car.. Absolutely no mods whatsoever..
