Great car ruined by transmission flaws

2010 BMW M6 2dr Coupe (5.0L 10cyl 7AM)

Review

I wanted to love this car but the SMG transmission needs a re-work to fix the flaws in the engineering design. It has serious issues like others have said in terms of shifting and power in automatic mode. Also gas mileage is terrible- BMW needs to find a way to tweak 26-30 mpg from the V10 or make a turbo charged six cylinder engine with 500HP. Porsche did it, why not BMW? I think BMW needs to get help from Porsche and Nissan on how to make a decent transmission and improve gas mileage. Sad because I wanted to love the car as it excels in all other areas over the competition. Even the 650i has a better transmission and gas mileage.

Favorite Features

Power, looks, engine sound of the V10!

Suggested Improvements

Fix the transmission! Improve gas mileage efficiency from the engine. Lower price to 80k from 120k. Yes, a loaded M6 costs about 120k with tax and fees.
