Friend of mine has a really mint ‘02 Steel Grey SMG he will be advertising soon. Grey leather, 19” diamond cut wheels.
I know you said manual, but if you’re interested drop me a PM and I’ll put you in touch.

Takes more than one drive to get used to the SMG…and also depends on whether it’s a well maintained car ..
CSL update on it changes it massively too.
Can do the manual conversion now for around £2.5k, finding an SMG that’s a cleaner more sorted car might not be worst idea …I wouldn’t let it put you off the perfect car if you find it
a lot are now appreciating the SMG more than years ago when most hadn’t drove them or taken time to learn it

I wouldn’t buy a manual, I prefer SMG, had it in my CSL obviously as there was no manual option.
Initially I hated it, but a week of driving and I was loving it.
Manual box in them is notchy and long. I wasn’t a fan.

See I’m the same - this is now my 2nd SMG M3 and i set out to find another SMG..
It’s rewarding gearbox imo- having to drive it like a manual but still having the upside of no clutch pedal and quicker shifts when hurtling on
One of the best articles on SMG…long but v good…
An in-depth SMG II review (LONG)
Found this on the bimmer.org E46 mb. This is by far one of the best non technical review of the SMG II. http://forums.roadfly.com/bmw/forums/e46m3/forum.php?postid=234793&page=1 ABSTRACT I am fundamentally opposed to automation coming between me and my driving experience, but, according to...
