Had a friend who worked at a dealership...told me that the clutch mechanism didnt last long and there was a global supply shortage. I think I will master shifting the old fashion way before I were to ever consider the F1 trans...6K is way too much. Thats over 60K for a M3! Get a used Ferrari 348tb for that kind of blow and experience 0 depreciation!

... Next he just happened to get on the subject about the SMG trans. He said that it would probably be available next year but that it would be a $6000 option. He was wondering if all these people who have criticized them for not have it available yet, if they realized it would cost this much. ...

Yow! $6000 is a lot. But I think I'll go for it anyway. It will be the only car on the road short of a Ferrari with a real F1-style transmission.
