SMG paddles are newer for the road BMWs (2010), are default for M3, Ferrari, any DCT cars, and are the style for F1 cars. If you look closely at the cockpit shots, you can see the drivers clicking the right paddles when accelerating and then furiously clicking the left paddles when braking for a turn.It's a more positive action, more sporty, and keeps both hands at 9 and 3 o'clock. SSG paddles allow you to rest one arm on the armrest holding a Pepsi ala American style, yet still shift up and down. SMG also looks way cooler IMO. Even Shimano (bicycle gears) are starting to make similar one-action electronic shifters.So you can probably tell which I prefer. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
