  M3 SMG
The M3 was a blow back submachine gun fielded in December 1942 by the United States Army during World War II.
M3 (1942) was designed specifically as a low cost substitute for the Thompson submachine gun.
A flash suppressor was developed for use with both the M3 and M3A1.

 BMW E46 M3 Shifting - Tech Review - European Car Magazine
The SMG M3 uses exactly the same transmission and clutch, but they are actuated by an electro-hydraulic control system, which also has authority over the throttle.
SMG could be improved dramatically in this area, as a skilled driver shifts smoother and faster, even when relaxed, than SMG when left to itself in its moderate settings.
SMG does have the advantage of no clutch pedal, a help in stop-and-go traffic and convenient if one would like to share the experience with a driver who is not adept at shifting manually.

SMG II is not only operated by means of a selector lever as in the past, but also offers the driver two rocker switches on the steering wheel.
With the Sequential M Gearbox, it is easier to benefit from the high power reserves of the M3 through selection of the optimum shift point with so-called “shift lights” (LEDs in the cockpit indicating the optimum shift point on the tachometer).
The second generation of the SMG gearbox stands out owing to its even shorter tractive power interruption — the time required for the fastest shift operations is merely 80 milliseconds: Hardly anyone would be able to change gears manually within such a short period of time.

M3 E30 som kom 1987 var snabb, snygg och rolig, för att inte nämna alla framgångar modellen hade på racebanan.
Motorn i M3 mullrar en hel del i dryg motorvägsfart, samtidigt som bilen är väldigt stötig på dåliga svenska landsvägar och däckljudet gör sig påmint i alla farter.
M3 SMG överträffade helt enkelt mina extremt högt ställda förväntingar, något jag inte trodde var möjligt.

 CanadianDriver: Test Drive - BMW M3 SMG convertible
As the M3 convertible is mechanically similar to the M3 Coupe, I'll use most of this test-drive report to focus on the new SMG transmission and the car's convertible-specific features.
The Sequential M Gearbox (a $4,900 option on the M3 Coupe and Convertible), is essentially a six-speed manual gearbox where the clutch and gearbox are operated electro-hydraulically by a computer in response to the driver pulling on two paddles behind the steering wheel, or by pushing a floor shifter forwards or backwards.
To start the M3 SMG, your foot must be on the brake and the shift lever in '0' mode while the ignition is on.

 Heavy cars + high strung motors? - Supercars.net
And I'm pretty sure SMG does make it easier to launch, I believe the M3 SMG has a setting on the computer that launches the car at like 5000 rpm for maximum acceleration.
In the case of the M3 SMG, it holds the revs at 3500 rpm.
I assumed that SMG operated identically to Ferrari's F1 gearbox, which provides a launch program, but the revs are still regulated manually by the driver, making launching no easier than with a traditional manual transmission.

 BMW World - SMG Parts
SMG was first made available on the Euro E36 M3 in 1997.
The "A" Mode was called "E" Mode (economy) in SMG I. A Mode provides the convenience of an automatic transmission for start and stop driving, while S Mode provides lightning fast gear shifts even with the accelerator pedal fully depressed.
SMG uses less horsepower, provides better fuel efficiency, is lighter, less complex and cheaper to manufacture.

 P7 Brake Pedal for SMG
In my opinion, one big reason to buy an E46 M3 with the SMG option is that the semi-automatic gearbox allows full-time left foot braking.
Prior to the release of SMG in the U.S., I had been quite curious to see how the factory would approach a performance car without a traditional clutch pedal.
It seemed that the proper solution for an SMG equipped M3 would be a wider brake pedal.

 "Drive-by-Wire" Throttle Pedal - Page 4
An E46 M3 w/ SMG II "seems" to behave the same whether the throttle pedal is an SMG version or a manual version (save the kick-down in the lower auto-modes being lost).
For example, if the SMG version of engine management software "expects" a value of 112% before it recognizes a full throttle command, then with the manual pedal installed in an SMG M3 one would never be able to command full throttle.
If this were the case then installing the manual pedal in an SMG M3 would only allow one to command 81.2% max throttle, even with the manual pedal fully depressed.

 2002 BMW M3 SMG Car Reviews - The Car Connection
The SMG does not eliminate the clutch but it does eliminate the third pedal.
The convertible version of the M3 is also pricey at $53,900 -- making it almost a dead heat, at least in terms of cost, with the 349-hp supercharged Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG ($54,900).
And remember that you'll lose the peformance advantage the M3 coupe has over the Benz -- as the heavier convertible version of the M3 is slower than the SLK32 AMG (about 5 seconds flat to 60 mph).

 Review: 2002 BMW M3 SMG Coupe,Plus High Performance BMW Driving School
The gearbox is the same six-speed Getrag as is found in the regular M3, but with Formula One-inspired electronic-hydraulic control via paddles mounted behind the steering wheel and/or a lever on the center console.
In recent weeks, I spent a week driving an M3 SMG on the highways, city streets, and (sometimes trafficless) back roads near my home, and also had the opportunity to attend BMW M-School, where regular and SMG M3s were used for a high-speed autocross.
The SMG worked well in the world of speed limits, and even better when the only laws to obey were the laws of physics.

 ROADandTRACK.com --- First Drives - BMW M3 (9/2002)
BMW's SMG transmission has a total of 11 auto and manual settings, and can be operated via the shift lever or steering wheel-mounted paddles.
The SMG has a total of 11 settings, six in manual mode (S1 through S6), and five in automatic (A1 through A5), adhering to the company's recent pattern of over-complicating its technology features.
The conventional manual was nice, too, but the SMG was quicker and more comfortable because it allowed us to concentrate more on steering, braking and accelerating, without experiencing any sacrifice in lap times.

No, the M3 SMG has the same conventional six-speed cogbox as the ordinary M3, but with the gearshift and clutch mechanisms operated by electronically controlled hydraulic actuators.
But whereas the previous-generation M3 SMG was a somewhat recalcitrant and jerky device, the new one is battling for class honours.
The transmission itself is packed with a raft of features, all intended to ensure that the SMG driver loses nothing (other than the requisite £2400 supplement) over the conventional M3.

All other performance aspects of our M3 convertible were as expected, including the 109-foot stopping distance from 60 mph, the sublime steering feel and, unfortunately, the somewhat "blatty" exhaust tone that can't match a V8 Corvette (or even a Boxster S) for pure passion.
