Didn't like the interaction of the tranny with the motor. Just seemed really abrupt and jerky. I've been told if I think that's bad to never drive an SMG E46 M3 or E60 M5.

On the flip side most of the AMG auto's I have driven are very slow to react. Maybe I just want to dislike anything that's not a manual but selections keep getting slimmer.

2013's can be had in the lower 40's.

Ha ha I was thinking of posting the SHO with the same tag.

Did someone already post the M3 with the 6M swap?

Meanwhile the price on the E38/M5 is down to 19...

I'm curious to see how high this one goes. The swap is at least notionally popular and "not that expensive," but most people only conjecture when it comes to any change in value.

Is Zach going to bid on this one? Current bid seems low...
