But some say they don't like the SMG II, well it is the word of my friend who took his little brother's M3 when his CLK is in the shop, what does he knows 
The SMG sucks if you drive it as an automatic, but using the paddle is very enjoyable.
Can't beat Formula 1 technology right!

He might just be an auto driver! Don't think my father will enjoy the SMG either

Of course, I think the SMG III is a big improvement correct?
Yes correct, it is a big step forward from SMGII, 7 speed, another F1 technology 
By the way, does anybody know who stock AC pedals set besides BMW HK?

SMGIII is a great stuff, I think it even better than Ferrari F1 gear box!

SMGIII is great, but personally I prefer the Ferrari F1 box, it drives more like a sports car, but the SMG is smoother.

Thanks for the info, I'll try "Lung Wah" this afternoon. Do you know what street they are on?

Lung Wah is the shop which mod the first 120i!! It's on "freedom Rd", the one next to the MK KCR station! You better phone down to check the price and to see is there any stock. If the price is right then go there!
