No, but it is a perfect candidate for a manual swap.

These are maybe the most commonly misidentified manual/auto cars. I’d say most cars are misidentified 15-20% of the time; with the e46 smg it’s more like 33% or higher.

A week ago I found a nice dark green E46 M3 with the cinnamon interior... my dream M3. I called the seller, checking to make sure it was actually a manual (no pics I could tell in) and he says “yeah of course!”

I start thinking over the money and stuff, it was priced pretty fairly... then he sends me some more interior pics and it’s SMG :(

Searching new Porsches on Autotrader gets you the same foolishness. You set the search parameters for “manual” and the results pages are polka dotted with wankerbox cars. SMH.

Yeah, lowered slightly on some gold faced BBS LM’s or some CCW’s and I’d be in heaven.

The E9X M3s are pretty bad when it comes to that; it’s more than 33%.

The SMG has an automatic shifting mode. That and the missing third pedal mean it isn’t a manual.

If it can shift itself, it’s not a manual. OED.
