Are you sure you want to hear this?
I mean I don't want your feelings to get hurt again and if you haven't lived in a cave for the past decade, you would've already heard all of this:
-2 pedals
-Reliability and financial disaster
-Undesirable given the choice, the used car market speaks for itself.
-Its "technology" has since been supplanted by dual-clutch transmissions, which are far superior to SMG.
-Still not a manual 
But i'll play fair, there's an upside to SMG as well:
-Possible to convert to 6MT  |
The SMG transmission did not or could not pair with v10 (M5) or V6(M3). That's the truth.
Whereas the DCT in E9x M3 (V8) was hard tuned to handle high revs and pairs Beautifully with the engine.
This is IMHO.
