I've looking at many of your vids, this is probably the first owner that really knows his car and build it with taste, both visually and performance wise.

Obviously not in a position to buy, run and insure one and won't be for a good few years.

I love the way the guy talks about his M3! He's got a very interesting POV on the SMG though. I currently have an SMG on mine and I am in the process of doing a 6-speed swap. The only reason I am doing this is because I've had such bad luck with the SMG transmission. Mine is beginning to struggle to build up enough pressure to change gears to the point where the car almost wants to stall out. Apart from that, I really enjoyed this video! Cool dude with a cool car! 11/10 will definitely get a CSL carbon airbox for my build haha.

Hi I am the owner. Thank you the kind words. There are many easy and inexpensive fixes for the SMG. Contact me through my build thread mentioned in the description and I may be able to help you. In my opinion it would be a shame to lose the SMG.
