Can't wait what the future holds in store.

although SMG and Automatic isnt the same type of gearbox, MB wasnt first with 7 gears.
Correct me if Im wrong but wasnt bmw first with an automatic with six gears, when the new 7-serie was prestented I remember that BMW bragged about it, could be wrong though.
