Tom Milner's Prototype Technology Group to close its doors
Articles
May 25, 2013
Tom Milner's Virginia-based PTG squad was appointed by BMW North America to mastermind its entry into the IMSA series with the E36-shape M3 in 1995. The Prototype Technology Group team that masterminded BMW's sportscar successes with the M3 in North America in the 1990s and 2000s is closing its doors. The partnership yielded titles in IMSA, the United States Road Racing Club championship, the American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am across 11 seasons and two generations of M3. Milner said: "I have now sold everything except the building, including... "There are lots of factors involved and one of them is that sportscar racing in North America is changing," he said. The German, whose son Tommy Milner is a factory Chevrolet driver in the ALMS, explained that there were a number of reasons behind his decision to close the team. I'm certainly not going to run my own team again, but I wouldn't rule out an involvement helping someone else.

Q:
Should I get M/T 1967 mustang or an 2006 BMW M3?
I'm planning on getting a old school mustang and a BMW m3. The problem is one of them needs to be automatic, so that my wife can drive it. If anyone could give me any advice I'd appreciate it. I've wanted a M3 for as long as i could remember, but it seems like a waste to get automatic an 1967 mustang. (asked by D on May 25, 6463)
A: You answered your own question. Make sure the Mustang is a manual. (answered by ryankneale on May 25, 6912)
Q:
Is the SMG transmission on a BMW M3 2001-2006 models have a good reputation or bad?
Just wandering if the SMG transmission on a BMW M3 is good.
And if it could reach 170k miles easy without any major service.
The reason I was interested in it because it has a automatic option in which my mom could drive in case of emergency.
Some people say that the regular manual transmission is better? (asked by juventus_ar on September 23, 2008)
A: Frankly, the jury is still out on SMG's. But so far so good...
Remember that they are manual transmissions basically with
automated shifting, and that they had only been in widespread use for approximately 8 years. It has now progressed from SMG I
to II to III ( the latest).
To say that it is not durable is baloney. Same thing with being rough
in normal city use and being fit only for the track. Rumor mongering from people who have never had much or any experience with SMG's. Or who do not know how to use an SMG.
Normally, the defects would be the same as any manual transmission.
Ocassionally (but rarely) you would see the hydraulic pump or the gear shift sensor taking a dive. More often (but still rare) is oil leaking
from the SMG shifter mechanism (not the tranny). Theoretically, the SMG module could quit but I have yet to see one do it.
But to guarantee that it would last 170K miles is asking too much. Even BMW would not go as far as that. What car manufacturer would
guarantee their transmissions up to 170K ?
EDIT:
To compare the automatic transmission of a 335 or any car for that matter to an SMG simply misses the point. Any automatic transmission can never perform better than a manual or a manual with SMG in the hands of a good driver.
SMG is not meant for boys. Ladies maybe. (answered by brod on September 23, 2008)
