E36 SMG Thoughts?

[Travis Mcgee]

Just following on from the thread about E46 SMG boxes, what is the concensus of opinion on the E36 SMG box? Up till now, i have not really looked at these as a possibility, seems to be lots of talk about unreliability, plus, i mistakenly thought they were some sort of sophisticated auto box.
Did they do the SMG on the 3.0, or is it exclusive to the EVO's?
cheers
