2002 BMW M3 Coupe 2dr Coupe (3.2L 6cyl 6M)
BEWARE OF SMG PROBLEM
 First time M3 buyer loved the car for 
about one week. After that it was 
pretty much a nightmare. The SMG starts 
to do funny thing like switch gear from 
the current gear to neutral, while in 
motion. The problem is due to bad 
hydraulic causing the gear to 
switch from gear to neutral. The car is 
still at the dealer WAITING for the 
part to arrive sometimes this week. I 
am just hoping this problem won't 
happened to anyone who is consider 
buying this car. This is a great car to 
drive but not it's reliability. If you 
are consider of buying one do think 
twice before purchase it. Dame should 
have got myself a C32 AMG instead.
