2005 BMW E46 M3 ZCP

Owner is a really cool guy. He's parting out and selling. All good cars go to heaven...

Wow, awesome pics... Does that intake manifold / CAI device come from the factory?

IIRC, it's a carbon fibre intake from the M3 CSL (as are the seats).

I wouldn't go as far as calling it tiptronic!

It has a SMG (sequential manual gearbox). Basically a clutchless manual.
I believe it has a hydrolic clutch that auto engages. The car even rolls back if it's on a hill until you step on the throttle.

Tiptronic is an automatic tranny with selectable gears.

Well...I don't know the detailed specs on the SMG but the owner mentioned during the photoshoot that the SMG is pretty slow if you compare it to technology today like the DSG or the MCT of his new SL63 AMG (whoooaaaaa!)

At least with the SMG it'll be consistent shifts.
