Mike aside from having the manual in the M Coupe was there any other reasons why you went for the SMG > Manual in this car?

Hi Josh, it only comes in a SMG over here. I'm not sure if manual was an option at all in this car?

Just took a look on Pistonheads, didn't see any manuals out of 15 for sale so you're probably correct.

How do you like the SMG?

The SMG is great, not on par with E-gear or F1 - but not a bad at all. It is a similar setup to the M6, need to get more miles on it to give a proper report. Keep you posted
