Hi guys,
Just picked up a 2002 M3 convertible with 70,000 miles! Been loving every minute of it. My question is in regard to the manual transmission. sometimes when I try to get into 3rd or 5th, I get a grinding noise (not all the time) and it is hard to get it into the gears. All others are fine but its 3rd and 5th that are causing the occasional problems. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

Thanks in advance guys and glad to join the M3 forum now!
