No it wasn't, not sure where you are getting that from. In the EU, the "automatic" E36 was an SMG, which was about on par with the 6MT. In the US, they got a crappy planetary auto that was slower than the 6MT.

You should read your own footnote quote
Who cares about the EU? I'm in the US. I'm not going to dissect every market the E36 was ever made. If you want to list every generation of M3 and see which model was faster either manual or auto just to try to disproof my point, go for it.

You are arguing for the sake of arguing.
