SMG stands for Sequential "M" Getriebe
Getriebe = Gears
This is already an option with the Euro M3 E36.
No more clutch peddal. Just a small stick to sequentially shift from 1 through 6. However cannot be compared with the "Steptronic" available in other bimmers with an automatic transmission as there is no torque or RPM equalizer, or whatever you call the damn thing making the automatic shifts so smooth. The whole thing sort of works like the gears on a Formula one car.
