So assuming everything is a direct drop-in straight from the M5, then it's either the third pedal or being able to shut off the traction control, so pick your poison: third pedal fun or tail-happy fun (while actually being able to accelerate faster).
In '08, the manual cars were able to go DSC-Off, and the dealer could retrofit the '07 cars. However, the 6-speed doesn't fit the V10 like the 7-speed SMG. The only problem with the V10 is that it was only available in 4K lb packages.
