SMG Gearbox, Heated seats, 19" wheels, TV, Sat Nav, Sweet noise, crisp handeling, ability to power slide and drift, Tyre pressure monitor, auto lights and wipers Launch control !!!!!!!!!!! Loads of fun.
Bad Points
No light on the dash to show you that the lights are on. apart from that it is sweet!
General Comments
Just bought a BMW2003 E46 M3 coupe with SMG, TV, Sat Nav and in individual atlantis blue (never seen another one in that colour). I have driven a lot of fast cars in my time but this is special ! 346 bhp through those 255/35/19 tyres is great fun. Having driven both the Manual and SMG versions the SMG comes out streeks ahead. It is one of, if not the best Paddle shift systems you can get. Gear changes in 0.4 of a second with the traction control switched off and on driving programe 6. It makes driving it more safe because your hands are always on the wheel plus you feel like Jenson Button. You will be faster than the manual. Tha auto is great to. you can alter when you want it to change gear to save fuel or let the misses drive. Ive had 165mph out of it and the limiter still didnt kick in. there is a chip available for it that increases the torque, bhp, improves the SMG system and best of all it de-limits it and she will go all the way to 198mph. It is a beast. Get yourself down to the bank and beg for the cash and go buy one. you'll love it.

I own an M3, and whilst I think it is a quick car, you are sadly deluding yourself if you think it will do 198MPH. I'd estimate a top whack of more like 176MPH.
