Of automatic gearboxes (coz I spend a lot of time in traffic). I'm a fan of the traditional torque converter type - for the endless 'creep' function in both directions. I hear others prefer the dual clutch type. I have driven a single clutch auto and it was bloody dangerous. If you had to have an auto - which type would you prefer, and why?

I dare to say I loved my 3 Series SMG gearbox until it decided to stop working!
I'm not a fan of creep gearboxes. This feature makes it all too easy to accidentally bump your car when performing slow maneuvers in tight spaces etc.
the SMG box is not a dual clutch, its actually a standard clutch with an electronic actuator effectively press/releasing the clutch for you. its also a very aggressive box when in its highest setting, physically pushing the car forward through the gear changes, which is quite addictive.
