Its such a shame that the M cars from the E60 M5 to the new cars of 2015 have that plasticky gear lever while the E46 M3 SMG cars had that lovely metal one.
It is metal, not plastic. I never liked the E46 M3 SMG lever - always thought it looked tacky.Schermerhorn said:

I'm not entirely sure, but I'd rather have a better gearbox and a not quite so nice feeling lever than the other way around, if I were given the choice. The DCT in the M6 is amazing compared to the old SMG
It's smoother that's for sure and better in auto mode, but still has ghosts in the machine, I wouldn't describe it as amazing, PDK in sport + mode is very impressive but the DCT lacks that strategy.Schermerhorn said:

E46 M3 SMG was horrible cheap plastic, as were the shift paddles and SMG surround. I was stunned when I swapped them for the Stormworks parts which are very good quality and heavier. Made a world of difference to how shifting felt.I was surprised BMW would fit such horrible cheap parts to an M car.
