Closest one to St. Louis that I could find on AutoTrader is this one that's 300 miles away:

It's a convertible, and it says it has a stick, although I can't tell from the pictures.

That's the best I can do...SMG on everything near you and most everything else I've found.

Do yourself a favor & try to get a good extended warranty for it from someone like Western General, if they still cover them (they recently stopped covering AMG Mercedes, and I'd expect BMW M to be close behind). These things can get really expensive to run. Like, more than the car is worth in a couple years expensive, stick or not.

Thats the biggest pain about searching for M cars. The SMG is categorized as a manual on just about every site! You thought you found a good one...fuck.

All these damn idiots marking their SMG cars as manual transmissions and screwing up the search filtering!

I've never owned an SMG M car, but my father did (E46 M3). He hated it so much that he traded the car after 6 months! He had taken it to the dealer twice, thinking that something was wrong with the car lol. I tried to tell him that it's just the way it is, but he wasn't buying it. However contrary to popular opinion, I think that the SMG is a blast to drive as long as you drive it like a manual (turn the shift speed all of the way up, and change gears as you would in a full manual). Full disclosure, I still wouldn't buy an SMG car.

Weren't you searching for a Boss 302? Why are you searching for an M6 now?


Kinja'd!!! Cherry_man1 >  V8 Rustler
01/20/2015 at 13:00

Cause the M6 is cheaper and V10. But really it's closer.
