EVERYWHERE I WANT TO GO: IT GOES

A teenage dream.

Back in 2012, I was shopping for an Interlagos Blue E60 M5 with plans to move to California.

Life circumstances changed my plans and I stayed in Canada.

I got my hands on one, for better or for worse. This is the BMW M equivalent of “cocaine and hookers”.

I doubled down: the SMG3 is damned no more. In this entry, I record a video clip and document my driving impressions with the YFCM carbon fiber driveshaft in a caricature that only SMG owners will resonate with: the anticipation flexes.

SMG was damned from the start.

I take a dive into the SMG: what makes it uber fast, harsh, atrocious, and totally awesome.

Should we all give up and swap manuals - and keep chasing the DCT hopes and dreams?

I've compiled the preliminary checks, while-you're-in-theres, recommended hardware and installation notes along with final validation checks to fit the the carbon driveshaft to your SMG3 and 6spd V10.
