M3 gears question!!

[chilli]

Have I got this right....

Normal gearstick usually means a normal manual. Flappy panel thing is the SMG one and the small silver stick is the automatic?
I'd rather have the small silver one really, but not too sure about having an M3 in an auto.

I'd appreciate any views!

Cheers.

But the one I looked at earlier (autotrader) had a silver stick, and no clutch, or paddles. I guess it's just push/pull the stick to change gear?

If it doesn't have paddles, the steering wheel has been replaced with the wrong part. Are you sure you didn't miss the paddles? Or are you talking about an E36 SMG? They didn't have paddles and the SMG was rubbish.
