old generation SMG was the jumping off point for the ferrari SMG, also,... i think it means Sequential M[motorsport} Gearshift/gearbox... one of those,. or at least something to that effect, also,. it is an awesome system from what i have heard, even in automatic mode, it shifts faster than an automatic, and comsumes as much gas as a regular manual... [i talked to a REP from GEtrag gears, they supposedly make the SMG's for the M3's,. they dfo however make an ASG for most of the cars in europe w/ them]

: ...for taking out that pathetic little CRX that just cut you off. Actually, it's a Sequential Manual Gearshift or something similar to that acronym. It's somewhat similar in principle to the F1 system in the Ferrari F355 and 360 Modena. Serves as an alternative to the manual for people living in congested urban areas. According to some email I got from overseas folks, the last gen (E36) SMG was a complete piece of garbage.
