M5 for Wife?

Guys,

My wife currently drives a 2008 3 series convertible but we are about ready to start a family and I know she needs something bigger. I love ///M cars (so does the wife) and we are thinking about an M5.

My question is on the 2008 and newer M5s. Is the SMG automatic mood smoother than say the 2006 models? My dad had an '06 and it was pretty rough. Also, does it have the feature to where it does not rollback on hills? My wife had an '06 M3 convert SMG and she didn't like the fact that it would roll back on her.

If you have any other input or suggestions let me know.

Thanks!

Austin

Oh....I thought you were offering to trade your wife for an ///M5. Or trade an ///M5 to get a wife, but that doesn't sound like a very good deal

Anyway, considering an M5 SMG as well. Interested in replies.
