FS/FT : 2001 LAGUNA SECA BLUE E46 M3 - 6speed manual - 61,100 miles

[MasonBarnard]

FOR SALE OR FOR TRADE

I bought the car about 9 months ago and daily drive it, but don't love the car like i thought i would. Its an awesome car, and i'm not 100% sure if i wanna keep the car or not, so i might end of keeping it, i'm just kinda testing the waters on it. Im moving to Santa Monica in a couple and months and i think a 4 door car might be more suitable, or maybe even 2 cars (daily driver / weekend car) i don't know what the options might be, but i'm trying to figure them all out.

Lol. I mean, what am i gonna do with this car :yum:

i feel like i need something different, either with

- tons of boost with money
- luxury, low and slow.
- weekend drifter with cash ontop for a daily driver

trade for very clean turbo s2k

I wish. I need something with more then 2 seats. and if i do get 2 seats, then id need cash ontop for a daily driver :( sure your car is sick, i love boosted s2k's tho.

Yes i agree! If your moving to LA and you let go of that car before you go around cali your going to hate your self when you get there!

Besides 20,000 is a price that is to far fetched for most ZILVIANS.

LOL, I was actually wondering about that... not to sound like a "zilvians hater". Cause i like 240's and JDM cars more then i like euro cars. and all the JDM cars ive had have been very nice, but im use to a lower less luxury car.

[Jturbo]

if you moving to la get ready having a modified turbo car cuz emission sucks ass there....

[surge s14]

i really want this car!

[Dsic240sx]

i'd say keep it man, e46 m3's are one of the all time best looking cars imo. Or go for an e92 335is or a G35. Something that's "fast" stock, cause the cops WILL be on your case.

[Xclusive_racer]

sent you a PM!

i know... i thought about that, i think im keeping it as a IL registered car. Or find someone to pay it off, cause i have my eye on a 2jz is300... and that would be fun to try and get registered..

i really want this car!

You have a LSX swapped 240?... Trade plus Cash...? lol

i LOVE how e46 m3's look, and is my favorite looking series of M, but i need something to mod, and i dont have enough to Boost the car, and thats what my origional plans for the car were.

Ive been through it all with modded cars, and i know how cops are. and i wont ever stop modding cars, especially because of police. :ghey:

sent you a PM!

Replied.

:facepalm:

BMW has two very loose definitions for SMG

a. Sequential M Gearbox
b. Sequential Manual Gearbox

In some documents they have interchanged both, and lead us to believe that the letter "M" in a. refers to Manual instead of Motorsport. But my interpretation is that Sequential M Gearbox (made by Getrag) is used to describe what was equipped in a M car. This is different from a Sequential Manual Gearbox (made by Magneti Marelli) equipped in a non-M car.

SMG 1 refers Sequential M Gearbox version 1 and first introduced in E36 M3. Has nothing to do with SSG (see below). SMG 1 was never offered to the US market unfortunately.

SMG 2 refers to what was offered in E46 M3s.

SMG 3 for E60 M5 and E63 M6.

With M cars out of the way now, we move on to non-M cars.

SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) for non-M cars was introduced to E46s in the US from 2004 I believe. This gearbox under SSG (Sport Sequential Gearbox) in non-US markets. SSG was first offered as a 5-speed and moved onto a 6-speed later on.

Not quite everything on the plate yet.

SMG 1 is not the first sequential system offered in a BMW. Alpina in fact offered something they called ShiftTronic in 1992 and most notably installed in their B12 5.7 line (E31 based). ShiftTronic is a not the same as Alpina Switchtronic (or later on known as Steptronic in BMWs). ShiftTronic uses a manual gearbox and an electronic clutch.

SMG 2 is a manual transmission with an actuator pushing the clutch and shifting the gears for you, it rev matches perfect everytime, you can shift it how ever you want, it has launch control, you will never burnout the clutch, the car still has a clutch and flywheel
