HEY ill you have to drive the m-dct trans verry impressive, shifts are seamless. NOT rough and slowshifting as the smg trans.

 

Really? From what i've read the 6 speed transmission feels fragile?

 

Are you talking about E46 or E92? E46 6MT was a little sloppy without the SSK. I thought the clutch was a little long and the throw of the shifts were also too long and sloppy through the changes. SSK made it feel just right.

I prefer an SMG over the 6MT because thats just me. To each their own and no need to debate the merits of either one. It's like religion - no one will win.

 

E46

 

HDR. Another case of unnecessary use of it. Kind of a shame.

 

The new M3's don't excite me for some reason but congrats on your new ride. They didn't give me the same wow factor when the E46 M3's first came out. I love the stitching on your steering wheel though!

 

E46 M3 was a long throw stock, but after the UUC evo 3 SSK and then removal of clutch delay valve, it was AMAZINGLY perfect. E46 M3 with a few corrections is just a blast to drive, so fantastic. I use to BANG gears in my M3, no issues, not fragile by any means.

DCT i'm sure is cool, as well as egear and all of the rest I have driven. But they just aren't for me as my primary sports car or even fun car, my GT2 spoils me, my ex supercharged/stripped out M3 spoiled me, i'm a manual guy at heart and have no issues with it on the track!
