    I believe SMG was optional on the Z4. And SMG is a manual per the GCR. So paddle shifters are already legal in ITR. That transmission was also optional on the 2003 E46 BMW's, but that year isn't on the spec lines yet.
    That transmission was not available on the Z4 variant that's listed in ITR.

    Are you sure?

    I see two 2003, and two 2004 2.5 liter Z4's with SMG listed for sale on autotrader right now.

    I just confirmed it, I was wrong, you are right. I thought they were only available with the 3.0.

    It was a fairly lousy implementation, not as good as the M3, but you're right, it was available and would (IMHO) be legal in ITR.
