[quote][i]Originally posted by deano87[/i] SMGII, only way to go if you want resale value. Once you've learnt to use it, it's brilliant to be honest, jerky, but brilliant. You can get around the jerkyness on gear change by lifting the throttle slightly! The automatic mode is really not worth using. If you forget to change down when in manual mode, it changes down automatically anyway. Dad has done a track day in a manual car, which he loved :lol: but SMGII is just fine. Dad reckons (and so do I as a passsenger) that his M3 has got faster since we've had it. Buying it on 17k miles (now on 24ish iirc) it seems to have finally bed in :lol: he also used to run it on Sainsbury's Super Unleaded, which made it pink a couple of times and not perform well. He has been putting Shell Optimax in it for well over 6 months and it runs sweet as a nut. The fact the car has got faster is probably to do with a few things. The right petrol (which BMW recommend), knowing how to drive the thing and the engine bedding in. Don't expect super fantastic things from it the first time you drive it, because it won't happen. Yes, it's essentially a BMW 3 series coupe, but it is more than some people realise. The fact some insurers wouldn't insure dad (he's had his licence since 17, now 46, with that many years NCB) tells you what kind of a machine it is. Oh, dad also has a tracker on his, which, I suppose, is well worth the investment, depending on your postcode etc, but that is like another £200 or so every year!
