I'll be getting to drive my brother's '02 M3 SMG in exactly 2 days! 
He said he's just gotten past the 1200 mile break-in so it's ready to be put to the test, whcih means I get to drive it really fast!
(This is from when he took delivery of it at the BMW factory in Spartanburg, SC last month.)

even if the auto was faster than a stick, the thing i didn't like was the slowness in the downshifts. i would punch it but it would take a while for it to recognize that it needed to change gears. that is all.

Thats not true. People told me that the waiting list for E46 M3s is about a year. My friend ordered his in February and got it early May. You just gotta know who to talk to

Is that a c1 or c5 b series? either way thats quite a bit of power for a hatch. i raced a civic non-hatch with a b18c1 and he barely pulled on me, but i did have a 250lb friend with me, and he was alone.
