It was at some small car place that seemed to specialize in older European cars. It appeared factory, there was a window sticker that specified specialized paint. They only wanted 14.9k for it, but it was an SMG.

Who would custom order Dakar yellow and be like, “What’s the worst transmission available? Ok I’ll take it.”

9/10
Would daily until the SMG fails & then swap in a manual.

It would be better if it was a factory manual, but that’s not a bad idea.

I thought Dakar yellow was that baby shit color.

Dakar yellow was an E36 colour, iirc
so being a special order for e46 makes sense

Dakar yellow was an E36 color, but, as with most BMWs, you can whisper “BMW Individual” and open you wallet and get pretty much any color you want.

That is a manual swap away from being epic.

Mellow Yellow is best Yellow. Our first MINI, 2008; NA, Manual. Actually very reliable. Still regret trading it although we like the orange 2013 MCS that replaced it a lot also.

Sweet find! I wish I’d gotten a pic of it last weekend in Charleston
but there was a Dakar Yellow E46 M3 convertible with a match hardtop.
I agree with MR2 Blue, I’d rock that until SMG fails or just swap it to manual before that.

For real, but I bet that would significantly affect the price.

That it is, if I had a place to do it, then I might have had to buy it.
