SMG Gearbox...

[Olie Baxter]

Hi everybody,

Just a bit confused... Im searching aroung for an E46 M3 on Autotrader and just wondering what this SMG is all about. It says in the discription that the car is manual but it has a flashy chrome gearing system called SMG. I thought that meant automatic??? :S

Help lol

Sequential Manual Gearbox

It's a manual with steering wheel paddle shift and no clutch pedal (still has a clutch and manual gearbox but the gearchange is made by electro-hydraulic actuation instead of you depressing the clutch and moving the gear lever.

AAAAHHHH!!! That makes sense!

Thanks alot my friend... Didnt like the manual personally due to the clutch being very heavy....

This should be good tho!



Thanks
