[On_Her_Face]

My friend just got one (if this is the competition coupe model) his does not have the sunroof though.

Cool car just needs a little more go IMO.


Automatic?


Kevin

SMG but yes, sorta...

[staygold24]

Do want. Headers and exhaust free up a decent amount of power in those cars.

Throw some LM's on there too.

[MongolPup]

Changed the thread title for you.

[jmotley]

nice

[tnomud]

it has a clutch and a flywheel, no torque converter, and no drivetrain loss. Its a manual that has an electronically controlled TOB and shift actuator. 8 lbs more than a 6 speed car and unless you are Mario Andretti.........its faster.

[a94civicex]

very very nice

[thegovanator]

A) Nice car. I like it except for the SMG.
B) You bought this from the dealership I used to work at.

[D3UC3S]

damn you lamar..damn you:D

lets go for a ride

[civic95]

it has a clutch and a flywheel, no torque converter, and no drivetrain loss. Its a manual that has an electronically controlled TOB and shift actuator. 8 lbs more than a 6 speed car and unless you are Mario Andretti.........its faster.

Right he is. It's actually the same tranny and clutch as the 6spd manual, but instead of a clutch pedal + traditional shifter the actuators do all the shifting. I has paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel, or it can be put in full automatic mode. Each mode has 6 settings to adjust the RPM range it shifts at, and the speed of each shift. In S6 it shifts at redline and can shift in 80 milliseconds.

SMG is a love it or hate it sort of thing. I drive in a lot of traffic, so it's nice to commute in full auto. And I still have the paddle shifting for trackdays, and one of the best parts is that it takes the possibility of a misshift out of the equation.

Nice car.

Anytime man, just let me know.

So SMG has no drivetrain loss? Wow, I need to convert my car to SMG. :taun:

I rarely use the paddles. The best part is the electonic launch control, the rev-match downshifts, and just holding the fucker to the floor on acceleration. It's literally a perfect upshift and downshift every time.


You'll hate SMG until you master it. After that, you'll never want a normal manual again.

[swollix]

Looks good, not a fan of E46 though compared to other generations. Can't lose with BBS or HRE's:

Billy you know that BMW didnt produce to many without a sunroof. Thats a rare ass car! And the SMG is fun to drive with. Like most are saying you either like or hate it. Sometimes I wish I didnt have to shift in the audi. Life would be so much better. :boobies:

[RedGTS]

Nice car man you'll love it. Miss my old M3

[civic95]

Yes sir! It's literally a half mile from my house, and finally I drove past it 1 too many times.

[civic95]

B) You bought this from the dealership I used to work at.

Lambo of ATL? How are they btw? Did you guys abuse the crap of the inventory?

[claybird]

[Brian*]

The only thing your Japanese buddies should be worried about is jealousy!! LOL


Congrats bro!!!!!!!!!!

[thegovanator]

How is what?

We didn't really abuse the inventory. We always got one model of a certain car that was ours so we did our demos and test drives with that specific one.

[atlxpat]

white e46's are hard to come by
very nice find!

[swollix]

Nice car man you'll love it. Miss my old M3

Same here. I miss my M3...

[Fast Shadow]

Have you checked the title history of that car?

I almost bought one exactly like it from Motorcars of GA about 3 years ago. It turned out it had been in a very bad wreck. I hope that's not the same car.

[SplinterLink]

Yes sir! It's literally a half mile from my house, and finally I drove past it 1 too many times.

Yeah, I was looking to trade for that car about 2 months give or take ago. Then when the numbers didn't fall through my parents drove down there and looked at it. My father was thinking about picking it up. Solid car, drove good and the SMG was in good shape. You got a killer car man! :goodjob:

[ilovemyhonda.]

Omg, congrats to you!

this car is so sexy.

[speedminded]

Automatic?


KevinSMG's are not Autos, the SMG gearbox is the same part number as the manual 6-speed. Same lightweight flywheels and clutch kits fit the SMG and manual...

[redneckhatch]

Really nice

[Doppelgänger]

Looks good in white. :goodjob:

[2turbo4u]

The only thing your Japanese buddies should be worried about is jealousy!! LOL


Congrats bro!!!!!!!!!!

So true, I've noticed all the crying and people telling the O.P what to do with it. Also what tranny in it yada yada. So guys go buy your own and pick your tranny, mods and what not on your budget and you would have to bitch to this guy about his car. I say just drive the dawn car and enjoy it because at the end of the day none of these guys gonna pay for your mods, and trying to discount it when you want to sell it simple as that. Enjoy!

Welcome to the club. I have headers on mine and it makes a BIG difference.

[speedminded]

Welcome to the club. I have headers on mine and it makes a BIG difference.Euro catless exhaust is the way to go, need to tune it to truly make a BIG difference though...looking at a 50whp increase with proper tuning.

[chnco]

That's why mine is also Shark Injected ;)

I thought the Euro exhaust has cats in section 1?

[speedminded]

That's why mine is also Shark Injected ;)

I thought the Euro exhaust has cats in section 1?I think you're right. They just moved the location and they're higher flow. I'm gonna have to research this some more! HiRide on here is making about 330whp with the euro "catless" exhaust and piggyback...i'm confused what exhaust it is now lol!

[LIKEG6]

Nice move dude. I love those

Not the same car. This one was traded in a couple months ago for a newer M3. Previous owner was in Alpharetta. Carfax was pretty clean. It was rearended once at a low speed. All it did was scrape some paint off the bumper (which was replaced). I checked the entire rear of the car over good. What really sold me was it already had a BMW CPO 100K mile warranty good until 2012. Only has 40K on it now, and it was serviced by United BMW before I got it so I should be good for a while. I was planning on selling my S2000 first this summer, and getting a M3. Once I saw/drove this one I knew it'd be gone, and I'd never find another this nice locally later. Plus it was the color combo I wanted, SMG, and it had the Competition Package, and the warranty was just a huge bonus.

[civic95]

Welcome to the club. I have headers on mine and it makes a BIG difference.

Euro, or something else? Running Cats? How's the shark? I've been thinking about one. I have to pass emissions. I'd like to find some that are a direct bolt on with a good fitment, without having to weld my own O2 bungs, etc.
