I dont think the M series should be in anything but a manual, but I would let it slide for one of the newer turboed ones, M3/M4 bodystyles, theeir sexiness is worth it, plus EIGHT speed 
Hell, I still dont even know what SMG is lol I just know it is their 'auto'
I mean I should come to expect them to be high mileage, I should look more at how well it has been maintained.
At least with the 135i, I have a Carfax record of everything done, and they were all performed at the BMW dealer I bought it at too. |
IMO, the E46 M3 is BMW's most beautiful car, but do some research, they have their problems.
The SMG was the worst transmission I've ever driven. You should look into that as well to see what I'm talking about. Most will agree that it's a pos.
