and all that rambling about perfect shifts everytime being said, it still loses to the C 55 which is using the standard "auto" mode
BTW cldriver, what was the trap speed of those 1/4 mile times you saw, 13.7 is significantly slower than the published numbers I've seen. I always heard 13.2

God I hope a 350+ hp 350+ lb/tq V8 beats a I-6 that makes 333hp and 278 lb/tq. Not a fair race ... not fair either to compare 3.2 liters to 5.5 liters, also lets not mention the M3 came out in 02 and your C55 came out in what 05. The difference between SMG and your C55 transmission is night and day, again SMG does not have a torque converter that your C55 has.. I am not even going to bother to explain it you need to go read about it...

BTW, 6-speed stick shift is the only way to roll on an M3.
