Having driven both the M3 and 330 with SMG, as mentioned above they are not the same by any stretch. The 330 SMG was a huge disappointment and very slow to shift compared to the M3 SMG. Not recommended especially if one were to pay for a SMG swap which would be quite expansive.

Test drove a 325 with SMG before I pulled the trigger on my car. I wasn't impressed, especially coming from my M3 SMG. If I were to do it, I would definitely swap in an M3 SMG, just make sure you get an SMG drive shaft as well.
I really have no idea what I am doing
