Last night, saw a beautiful new M3 convertible.

Best part, the personalized license plate:

[B]M3-SMG[/B]

Fess up, which of you lucky bastards drives that???

The new M3s are sweet...

SMG actually stands for Sequential Manual Gearbox,  it has paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

It reportedly allows the transmission to shift faster than a skilled driver can shift a manual or a conventional automatic can shift itself. But I still prefer a Manual Tranny.

Really?

Oh well, still a great car, but the coolness factor of the license plate went way down...

Vinnie, [b]THAT[/b] is my kind of SMG. Don't need a Form4. Of course getting a class3 may be cheaper in the long run.
