I have an '04 and have no problems with the manual trans. But I dont do 5grand burnouts either. I think you'll find the 6 speed alot quicker---even if its just a seat of the pants feeling

6 speed will be faster because

1. quicker shifts on a manual
2. No power loss due to toque onverter
3. Cause dats the way it is

Use an 05 or newer tranny and hardware. The new shifter is far lower effort, and a lot better feel.

the way the dealer told me is that they never really sold any maual trans. bull **** i know alot of people that would buy one. come on now who wouldnt want to shi* on a m3 and drive the car not be driven by the auto. if they put it in a c55, clk 320, clk 500, clk55 or e 500, 55, cls, or sl sh*t i think they made a big mistake not building the car the choice of getting one.
