I owned a '99 BMW 328i and I loved it. Since then, E46 M3 was my dream-car. Unfortunately, after a few weeks owing it, I found it a bit over weight. The SMG auto-manual sucked. Either shifting too abrupt or too slow. I was never able to dial it to behave correctly. Well, it could be me who expected the computer to shift better than human could. Obviously, with single clutch, that is not possible. I kept the car for a year or so and got rid of it so soon as I could. That was my last BMW .
