Nobody ever wants the SMG because it's jerky & it's not like a DCT where it shifts smoothly. The DCT has one clutch controlling 1, 3, 5 & the other controlling 2, 4, & 6. The SMG is single clutch & it's outdated because it's old technology. Also SMG's are known for hydraulic pumps to go wrong as well. So the 6 speed Getrag manual is better. Plus nobody wants the SMG

Lol at the VANOS stuff...and at the fact that someone actually bought that much BMW apparel

MilehighM3 · 08-21-2016, 11:14 PM

Lmfao at the trunk shock sound and the front bumper fitment issues! That and the good open on one side keeping the car from going into gear. The 50% price hike on SMG pumps this year is tough to stomach. Just another reminder of how badly SMG sucks...

1MOREMOD · 08-21-2016, 11:36 PM

My trunk doesn't do that and has big ghey wing on it.

flightz71 · 08-22-2016, 12:21 AM

lol~ this video is great. That trunk shock, the sagging front bumper, the rock chips - all make me feel so nostalgic.

I owned a 2003 Laguna Seca Blue 6-speed coupe from 2005-2011 and to date, I haven't met any car community that brought together folks like the e46 M3 did in its golden days. We had BBQs in NorCal with 50+ M3s showing up, a lot of us all becoming personal friends over the years.

I will never forget the smell and perfection of the plush nappa leather in a 4 mile e46 M3 on the showrooom floor, when owner religiously followed maintenance to the T, and getting a clean used e46 M3 for under $40k was so hard to come by. Sad to see these cars being thrown around and beat up by kids. Same with G35s - the coupes were drop dead gorgeous when the first came out.

The e46 really is a better "M" car. Raw, nimble, heavy and heavy steering. Like the car though, I grew up too and need a car with modern create comforts non-existent in "2000" era cars, which is why I own a e92 today. e92 nor the f82 which I've driven a couple times will never stir my soul like the e46 did though. Back in 2001, wait list was 1-2 years and e46 M3 had the hype just like Porsche GT cars of today have. Everyone just had to have a e46 M3 - one of the most handsome, beautiful and classic designs ever to come from BMW.

This is what the forum has come to. It was bad enough when people didn't care to help one another and now this is as exciting as it gets.

That reminds me of stuff they left out. How about all the speaker rattles and creaky door panels/arm rests? That's not an issue for you, but 100% of the other E46s it is.
