BEWARE OF SMG PROBLEM

First time M3 buyer loved the car for about one week. After that it was pretty much a nightmare. The SMG starts to do funny thing like switch gear from the current gear to neutral, while in motion. The problem is due to bad hydraulic causing the gear to switch from gear to neutral. The car is still at the dealer WAITING for the part to arrive sometimes this week. I am just hoping this problem won't happened to anyone who is consider buying this car. This is a great car to drive but not it's reliability. If you are consider of buying one do think twice before purchase it. Dame should have got myself a C32 AMG instead.

I waited 18 months for my Jet Black convertible with Imola red leather interior--and it was well worth the wait! The car is TONS of fun, but be careful when you push the sport button! If you're in traffic, you could find yourself in the trunk of the vehicle in front of you! The car just flies! It's truly gorgeous, too; it draws looks like a flame draws moths. I love it!

2002 M3 Convertible

After 6 months I'm still in love with this car. The handling and performance is simply exhilarating. The SMG (Sequential-Manual-Gearbox) option is awesome and it uses the same technology that's used in today's F-1 race cars. I believe that the new 02' E-46 M3 lives up to what it's often called ... "the ultimate driving machine."
