 I have had my new M3 convertible just 
one day and it is beautiful.  My 
convertible has the SMG transmission 
and I just love it.  It performs just 
as you were shifting the car with a 
clutch, but without the sensitivity of 
the pedal.  Also, driving in the 
automatic mode is a terrific 
accomodation to my bride.  I can't wait 
until it is broken in to see what this 
machine will really do.  I hope to get 
many fun years out of this baby.
