the smg can be a bit of a hassle. i have a non-M e46 with it's variation of the smg transmission. the pump lasts about 60-70K miles. fairly easy DIY. but there are gear position sensors that can go out as well and the tranny has to be dropped to access them. then there's the subframe and VANOS hassles as well. great driver's car. just know what you're getting into.
