The new SMGII (sequential gear box; like F355) M3 http://forums.roadfly.com/e46m3/messages/m...ages/51270.html

The acceleration assistant offers maximum possible acceleration.

When the driver has deactivated DSC and selected the S6 driving program, he can push the selector lever forward and keep it in that position when the car is stationary. If the driver now fully depresses the accelerator pedal, the optimum starting speed of the engine is automatically set. When the driver then releases the selector lever, the M3 accelerates with optimally controlled slip. This function is unique to the M3.

That gear seems like a very nice piece of engineering. The M3, besides being a sedan should be an interesting sport car. Thanks for the post Silver.

mike, I find that BMW SMGII brings up a lot of interesting possibilities. For example it seems like the dealer could never accuse you of: missed shift or launching the car hard (it's built in ) if you had transmission issues or a bad clutch.

I hope the SMG II is better than I. I have never owned ne but my sister has an E36 M3 convertible with one. I hate it.

Hey Bernie, what is it that you dislike? I'm just curious because I'm intrigued with SMG II.

[sarcasm]lvs2k, I find that link extremely offensive. The way it graphically depicts such heinous acts of animal cruelty in full motion is unacceptable. You could have at least provided a warning. This thread should be deleted due to the offensive nature of your post.... wait.... it's my thread, don't delete my thread![/sarcasm]
