FS: 2005 BMW M3 (Alpine White/Cinnamon) Coupe - $20,000, MD

Carbon black would be nice too. I'm just not a fan of smg cars after driving a couple and white does nothing for me.

As much as I agree Joop, Sean is right....this is as close to NB as you will get when running with an ///M unfortunately....

Yeah I know you can't get NB in the ///M, I was just saying, cinnamon isn't quite right for me. Besides, the ///M is missing two doors, so I'll never bother owning one anyway...

Of course, if we're talking E90 ///M, then that's another story. Besides...

You realize the E60 M5 pump is almost $3k, right? And from what I understand, it's not plug and play - some modification is required. Also, the pump is definitely not immune to failure. It might be more durable than the M3 variant, but the M5s do experience failures too

I've read that the failure of these pumps within M5 is next to none. As for the cost, you'll be saving pretty much the same amount by buying the SMG instead of 6-speed in the first place. But yeah, if that's the cost (I haven't looked into it), it's pretty pricy, and I would just do the 6-speed conversion for a fraction of that.

SMGs can be coded to run the CSL transmission software. Quicker shifts and blazingly fast 0-60 times even with out the power bump.
