Can anyone tell me the difference between a SMG1 and SMGII?

Also, how do I tell if the car i'm buying has 1 or 2? (M3 conv)

Thanks in advance!

Easy one this:

SMG is found in the E36

SMG II is found in the E46

SMG II is the updated version, not sure of the technical details of the change, but SMG II is widely regarded as a massive improvement, not least in terms of reliability.

But if you're looking at an E36 then that won't help you at all!

Cheers, it's an E46 so it'll be SMG2 then.

Many thanks! - I'll soon be an eligable member of your forum!
