The SMG II was reprogrammed for the CSL with an (even) more aggressive shift (IIRC S4 on the CSL equalled S6 on regular M3) and you got the auto-blipping on downshifts.

A popular upgrade for non-CSL SMG owners.

I think in its time context, the SMGII was the logic choice. Maybe not everyone's favorite, but I can understand it.

I personally like SMGII.

Manual or not, the E46 M3 CSL still is the coolest M3 from the past 20 years. A true special, not some marketing limited edition.
