Let us never forget how absolutely awful the SMG tranny was and how it devalued the dynamic and fantastic e46 M3s. Drive one. Their terrible. And costly to own

God even the sacred CSL is cursed with such a tranny. Not even an option for a third pedal.
Those that are still surviving are preferred in manual and are worth more accordingly.
I prefer these cars in manual.
Turbos or no turbos aside.  |
Which brings my back to my first post, nothing like revving that NA engine with all those ITBs to redline, pressing a clutch and "manually" changing gears, or even heel and toe downshift or rev matching....it just really sounds and feels great.
Hell, do that in a flat 6 air cooled 911.....or a 360 modena, Carrera GT with that pure racing v10 in a manual only or a murcielago lambo with all 12 italian cylinders screaming at the top of their lungs to 8K...jesus what happened to cars??? They quickly went from grabbing your soul to....just sales?
Anyways.....
