Dont Ask Me Why ...
... But even with all that cool stuff... I still find the new "Ti" extremely ugly...
... However, Rich stated they drive like a dream, so thats definetely the main thing
... The styling still makes it seem like the bonnet isnt shut

Correct
... To my knowledge anyways, the E46 M3 is the only car with the SMGII System ... The thing your talking about is called SSG (Sequential Sports Gearbox), however, I have no idea how it works... just that its definetely a watered down version...

Underlining the sporting character of the 3 Series is the introduction of a Sequential Sports Gearbox (SSG) option for the 325i and 330i Saloon and Coupé models. This clutchless manual five speed gearbox is operated by two paddles behind the steering wheel or via the gear lever. It is expected to be available to UK customers from December 2001 and its price will be announced nearer the time. At present we have no information on the availability of SSG in other markets, nor any other technical specifications, other than it is a close relative of the SMG II gearbox now available on the M3.
