Default SMGII gearbox on E46 M3

I know at least a couple of you guys have experience of these.

I'm thinking about another M3, but I want the SMGII g/box with a view to trying to overcome what I always felt was a bit of an agricultural manual gearbox on them. Which was the only reason I sold mine at the time.

I like the idea of a semi auto paddle shift, and it seems to be a way allot of manufacturers are going now. But that said I also do short journeys and town driving. So my question is are the SMG II's complient around town or was it jerky and a pain to get on with, or a fairly seemless, easy and comfortable way to get about. I don't want to feel like I am fighting the g/box all the time.

I'm sure they are great when you are spanking them on an open road or track but what's the SMG like just pootling about. ???

Cheers
