I didn't suggest BMW had a monopoly with the SMG, of course not. "F1 style" transmissions are a plenty. Ferrari has their's, Porsche has the Tiptronic, Alfa has their Selespeed, Lambo and E-Gear, the list goes on. But the point being is that SMG is a BMW thing.
The SLR has pretty balanced weight distribution, so a softish suspension would be why the rear needs help staying down. And the SLR is not front drive, but front-mid engined and rear drive. The air-brake is trick.
