I can't speak for reliability with the increased power/torque because mine was stock and had minor issues. I do know that I changed the clutch (as preventative maintenance) at 105K miles and the old clutch was still at a solid 75%.

are you talking about the e92 or e46? because the e92 doesnt really have an SMG, its a dual clutch which is much better designed then before and can handle some serious power.

There was almost no consumer desire for SMG on the E39 M5 nor the vehicle I posted earlier...

I wonder why the SMG was somewhat popular in the e46 then.
