6mt or smg?

Hello, I'm starting to research on which m3 to get the 6mt or the smg? My drive to work is an hour long and a ot of times heavy traffic, I would really like to go with the smg but would like some opinions of it?

About 300 threads over the years.

It is a personal choice. I prefer SMG, both in traffic and especially on the track.

SMG is awesome but extremely expensive to fix

and it tends to have issues.

6mt and I can never go back to an auto or smg. Shifting and clutching becomes second nature to you. It feels funny when I drive my wife's car because it's automatic. When I put my foot down I feel around with my foot and say "where is the clutch?

drive both and then decide....smg here...and i LOVE it

As second nature as you think it has become, the track will show you how much time and attention you use to shift.

There is a reason that in every racing class that allows them, uses a paddle shift setup.

manual tranny FTW

I would not own an out-of-warranty SMG-equipped car....

Ditto!!!

Eventual resale of the car will be easier with the smg. The ladies don't like sticks.

I agree with mrnile. Drive both if you can. SMG for me and would never have anything else.

It's all a matter of preference. There is no good or bad answer on this. Follow your gut feeling.
