I prefer the E36 and E30 to the E46, even though that's an awesome car. But E36 >>> *

drove an E46 6 speed and I had to get use to the clutch (going from a honda clutch to a german clutch was kinda weird). Very impressive and the traction control worked very well, especially when I did a big U-Turn on a intersection. The SMG I have yet to drive though, but without further ado...























E46 > E36 > E*

I think it stands for sequential manual gearbox or something like that

thats correct, its basically like a full time tiptronic deal if im not mistaken (which i probably am) but you tell the car when to shift with the gear selector but there is no clutch pedal and the shifts are very fast
