Nick - Overall it shifts very well. 2nd gear is tough when it's cold, but once it's warmed up, it's fine. This is a common "complaint" of E46 M3 owners. I've...
Hello all, I am a newbie and my name is Brock. I don't drive a BMW but I drive the next best thing, A 03 MINI Cooper S. I was at the Auto-x last week an plan...
Nick, Has anyone noticed why there are more used M3's with SMG's for sale in the Roundel vs. the 6spds? I personally don't like the SMG, I find the use of the...
If you hit the E46 M3 forum on Roadfly, they've hashed this issue out pretty well there over the years. There do seem to be some technical issues with the...
Yes, I feel the SMG is just another automatic and I just don't care for automatic transmissions. I might find it entertaining if they were to manufacture it...
Well, I can undertand your guys' points, its just that I'm unhappy with the sloppy feel I get when I shift. I like to shift fast, and its hard to do that in...
If I recall, there's a short article on the Roundel not too long ago about a guy asking the exact same question, what choice of tranny people would choose when...
Hi Brock, Welcome to the club. We're a bunch of car nuts, no matter what car we drive. Come and join us at the detailing tech session with Meguairs and Great...
Nick, I'm gathering you like to bang through the gears and go fast in a straight line. That's fine, not BMW's forte', but if that is your passion go for it. ...
Hi all, I've 5 minutes of the coolest DE video I've seen. We mounted a camera bumper height on a trailer hitch facing rearward. This footage is as neat as ...
Brock, I think you met fellow CCA member, and Mini S driver, Robert Kay. He also had a blue/white Mini that was competing. Not sure if I met you personally...

Well, I don't like going in straight lines, too many around here to begin with :P. I've installed a UUC SSK in my car, it tightened it up and feels good. I...
Hey, welcome, I'm a noob myself. Were you by chance in Hastings not to long ago? I saw an indie blue Cooper S in town. I noticed you had that color by seeing...
Hey, welcome, I'm a noob too. You wouldn't by chance been in Hastings not to long ago? Saw an Indie blue Cooper S going down Burlington. I noticed you have the...
No, I don't like the straight lines, to many here :P. When I was at a Skip Barber school at Laguna Seca, they had you race the car's with the sequential...
Nick, Well then my suggestion is to test drive them. You might have to drive to a larger city to find both (or one or the other) and yes, you are the one who ...
When I first got my E36 325is, I had a terrible time shifting during autox, but no problems on the street. My first national-level autox in the car was very...
Brian, Great call, something I forgot about. Once "trained" you forget how to shift wrong. :-) S p.s. Brian, the wheels are working out great and are much...

Yeah, I've gotten better with the shifter, sure I can get better with it if I autocrossed again. I'm going to try and see if I can test drive the SMG...

Well, I drove the car today. It was great. He just threw me the keys and told me to take it for a spin, lol. I really like the SMG, wasn't able to do much with...
