Re: 325 SMG cabro?

hmmm.. just wondering, the dealer told you it just got upgraded to a SMGII, not too well versed in this but i thought that the non-m could never have SMG II on thier car, E36 M had the SMGI, E46 M is SMG II and the current E60 M5 and M6 is the SMGIII. Yours is a SSG if im not wrong.... anyways.. i do hope others can chip in and actually explain abt a SMG II being fitted onto the 325 cab, the dealer might just be pulling a fast one on u .
 
Re: 325 SMG cabro?

oh l think the previous gearbox was a 5-speed, owner upgraded to 6 -speed lo...
 
Re: 325 SMG cabro?

you very sure it's a SMG II.. i suggest u getting a second opinion from someone else.
 
Re: 325 SMG cabro?

easy.... SMG-2 got 11 shift programs, 5x Auto mode, 6x manual, go ask if that "upgraded" one got or not.

HITMEE: hehe...tot tat 520 can wait lo......shd prob drive a cab when lm young and can afford..:)
Im just worried l cant drive it for the next 6 or 7 yrs...sigh......when will l kick off this stupid habit of mine????? :(
 
Re: 325 SMG cabro?

PML did it lo...cfm its 6 speed! cos l test drove it!! :p
Quick one...am l able to sell the car when it reaches 5 yrs old @ @ least 100k??
 
Re: 325 SMG cabro?

SMG from pre-fl Z4 has 6 speeds so maybe that's what the car has.
 
Re: 325 SMG cabro?

Errr .... I am talking 11 shift PROGRAMS (A1-A5, S1-S6), not how many gears .... but regardless, if you enjoy the drive, than go for it. Realse, with the new e92 coming into the market, I think the e46 will take a big hit ...

SMG I does have 5 speed and 6 speed. 6 speed SMG car comes out around 04 and earlier batches will have 5 speed but they are not SMG II. SMG II is only found in M3 for the E46 stable.

I doubt PML does the conversion cos I did approach them and they will not do it for me, citing that the EGS, Gearbox and prop shaft needs to be replaced. Technically, it is definitely possible. A quick check with PML can solve the mystery as they keep all records of job done.

And if it's true they did it, I would be interested also :)

There we go.. some light shed..
 
Re: 325 SMG cabro?

Alan is the 6 speed SMG really that much better? I thought you mentioned just smoother shifts. But in sports mode its not as interactive as you can't feel the gears engage like in our 5 sp.
 
Re: 325 SMG cabro?

PS:Dun flame me for being fickle minded hor! :p
