I'm somewhat confused by this part of your post. I'm assuming that is the shift pattern for the 7 speed SMG (I heard it was screwy looking, since it was specifically designed to be computer controlled from the start). Why would it be a problem if they used that particular SMG in the M3? For that matter, it wouldn't be too hard to design a 7 speed manual transmission that uses a more normal pattern (though I really don't see this happening.)
