Not sure why you would use S3, that would upset the car more than using S5/6 on a downshift.
I started using S3 because I simply forgot to change it back in the day. When driven hard, S3 does perfect rev matched downshifts, and upshifts are pretty fast without any sudden jerks during shifts. It's very seamless. My instructor, who had an E46 SMG was commenting on how smoothly the car upshifts. S5 was way to jerky when I tried it. I have used S4 and thought it was find too.
