I’d run mine like a raped ape until it popped and cash in my free engine coupon! Sweet deal!

> We were honestly a bit deflated by our BMW experience. The M5 is an impressive four-door supercar with the 7DCT, but the 6MT erases much of its fire. The manual gearbox delivers slower acceleration, reduced fuel economy (despite what the EPA prints) and, while we might be willing to give in on the numbers a little for an enhanced connection between car and driver, our time with the manual suggests its characteristics will frustrate more drivers than it will satisfy. While our enthusiast-rich blood craves involvement, in this particular situation, it became painfully clear that the computer-controlled 7DCT is the M5’s better transmission.

It will be interesting to see the order numbers for each. I know the 1 out of 6 are 6MT for the CTS-V.

The owner of the car and his family own a few of the Premiere Liquors, if not all of them.

The fix is to replace the pump, and doesn’t involve a ton of work either(suprisingly).
