Agreed the SMG in the E46 M3s was an acquired taste - mine had a proper gearbox. The newer version of SMG (in the new M5 & M6) is much less tooth-loosening (in the less scary driving modes)... anyone try SSG that was available in the 330i Clubsport? Never driven a DSG-equipped car, but it is meant to be infinitely better to drive with than SMG...

Yep, you have to learn how to drive with it that's for sure. I think this is why the DSG wins the battle as it actually makes the pre-emptive gear selection decisions for you... and correctly, if you believe what people say.

ok cool..
thanks for the explanation..
I only ever drove an SMG gearbox on the Bmw Test track in northamptonshire a few years ago in rockingham.. and that was fun!! a lot of fun! put the sensitivity on top and booted it with the instructor actuallly egging you on.. superb! my sisters got a 3.2 DSG A3, and she just drives it round in auto whict is the beauty of it, if ayone else gets in it, it turns to S mode and paddle shifters all the way! very nice, love it whe you downshift coming into a a bend and braking etc, and the gearbox dips the throttle for you, so for anyone outside the car, or passenger, thinks you're a top driver!! hehe..

Looks v smart and the changes are all quite subtle. I suppose they know when they're onto a good design and not to muck about with it much...

That's a side table = A round of applause must go to Listers for a great spread ........... in fact at the end people were taking packed lunches away for the weekend - there was that much

The interior is 100% better than the outgoing model.

Ps Pictures shaky I know - but they were quick snaps taken with my phone Nokia N80.
