The pump thing has in general been fixed by now, what's left is the ~50,000 mile life of the clutch, which is £3,500 to replace.
The 550i was available with a proper automatic, which just works - if the M5 Touring had had such an option in the UK (it did in the US) then it would have a much better rep.
I'll accept the SMG in an M5, in a car that had another option - not so much.
