that can apply to any tranny though or anything for all that matters...my dad was without his X5 for 2 weeks because they couldnt fix the pano-roof... being without your car

OP, you say she won't be using the paddles much anyways, so why bother with DSG? dsg only make sense, imo, if you (a) care about every last second of your time on a track.. (b) have lots of commuting in crappy traffic..(c) some sort of health issue forbidding you to use the third pedal
