Ye and smg was considered a bad tranny for its engagements were too slow and irresponsive on track use (Ive had it, manual is better) Dont get it confused I never said I liked smg, one is a compromised manual and the other is a pinnacle of fast shifting technology. There is a reason why e92 is considered the most complete m3 of all generations.
Well the way I wrote it is confusing.I should have specified "modern" m3. I still think the sense of full control over the vehicle (including smg for its fun factor) is what set Ms apart. Not the case with torque converter where you let go off the brake it moves unlike smg/mt/dct.
