The SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) was released in 2001 and was pretty high-tech in its day. However, they were not very reliable and can be extremely costly to fix, especially if the hydraulic pump has failed. BMW produced SMG is rather high numbers, making them relatively easy to find on the used market.
