    @sHillChannel Před 5 lety +512

    The shifter is not upside down. That is the correct way it should be. When you are speeding up, and upshifting it is more natural to pull the shifter back. Even more so, when decelerating and downshifting to push on the shifter. It is totally awkward the other way, if you are slowing and your weight is being pushed forward, to then pull back on the shifter, and pushing you even more forward.

    As a 4 year E60 M5 owner... Uff.
    This car should've gone to a specialist in the first place. Swapping the entire transmission out and throwing parts at the car without even scanning it using ISTA is just asking for more trouble.
    All of the complaints about the SMG are valid if old, and anyone who drives one more than a week will get the hang of the gearbox. It's still a weak point, but to say it makes it undrivable is dramatic.
    $5k for bearings and vanos refurb is about $2k high, and you're still having it done by someone who admittedly doesn't know the car very well. As great as the wizard is, these things are so friggin finicky, I don't think I'd have him tearing into the bottom end.

      A lot of the SMG problems are now being traced to frayed wires and worn out $14 relays. The first summer I had my car it started having trans issues, the first diagnosis I got from my usual mechanic was that it needed a clutch, p plate, flywheel and related hardware, some $4,500 all in. Took it for a 2nd opinion and it was just the slave cylinder. (still a $1500 job at shop rates because you have to drop the gearbox and bellhousing)
      More importantly, the car would've been fixed properly. No bent tooth on the flywheel, and no used totally unknown transmission and related bits.

      And thats how it should be. Because when you need to upshift, you are accelerating, being pushed back, so it is logical to go with the flow of movement and pull on the shifter to upshift, trying to fight the acceleration to upshift makes absolutely no sense and makes the car harder to control. And vice versa, if you are downshifting, you are probably decelerating, so you are thrown forwards.

The Euro version improves shifting and does 4k rpm launch control. It really improves the overall feel of it imo.

    The pull for change up and push for down makes perfect sense - think about which direction you are pushed/pulled under acceleration/deceleration - keep pulling back to change as you're pushed back to go faster, keep pushing forward to change down as you're pushed forward in the seat.

      It makes much more sence to pull back the gear stick if you wanna change up. The g-force while accelerating makes it more comfortable to flick it back and the g-force while breaking throws your body forward just like you will throw the gear stick forward to down shift. It is the ultimate setup.

    Great garage, cant wait to see what you stuff in it. The M5 is definitely temperamental, had an 06 awhile back and found that the bushings would wear in the lower control arms, throttle actuators go, and vanos high pressure line would need replacement in early 06/07 models. Picked up another 06 - project car needed motor and did the same preventive maintenance w used motor - rod bearings, bigger oil squirters for pistons, new throttle actuators, new clutch, cooling hoses, monoballs in lower arms, bmc filters w stock air boxes. These cars have hit rock bottom, so if you have dealt w those big tkt items - clutch and bearings, you should be fine. BTW - these are great track cars and really shine in M mode on a big track to stretch its legs. Also use 0w40 Mobil 1 oil and will switch to the 10w60 on the track. Maybe get another one in a different color :)

    With dual-clutch/SMG transmissions, we’ve been told the clutches wear out slower in the most aggressive mode, with the roughest and quickest shifts. This is because there’s little to no clutch slippage, as compared to normal mode where they have to be slipped to make gear changes smoother.

      Actually you DO have to replace the brake sensor when replacing pads, even if it hasn't touched the rotor! Why? The BMW computer measured the resistance of that wire and identified it. If you do a brake reset and don't change the resistance (install new wire), the computer will soon revert back to "pads due soon". There is a trick though, if you were adamant about not switching wire - you can cut it shorter or lengthen it, anything to change the resistance value and get the computer to recognize it as a new wire.

    Shifting manually with the lever is backward because of formula one, that how the shifter works in those cars. Its like that in all BMW's

    My advice for the transmission, you can get a softwareupdate for the transmission at a specialised tuner. That rally helps.

    The direction the shifter works is NOT backwards! That is the proper way. Pull towards you to shift up, and forward to downshift. Look at any race/rally car with a stick operated sequential transmission.

  • @jzucchetto
    @jzucchetto Před 5 lety

    A couple of things: moving the shifter up to shift down gear makes sense because when you are on hard breaking the G forces pushes you forward. Same thing for shifting gears up on hard acceleration. Second, to do a burnout you turn traction control off and floor it, it will rev to redline and drop the couch hard for you and then you get on the brakes. That's about a fraction of a second there.

  • @bigboyrise
    @bigboyrise Před 5 lety

    Hey Hoovie, the shift backwards is still used to date on all high performance bmw, the logic behind this is to have the shifts move in the way your G-forces move...
    So for e.g. if u shift up, ur G-forces are moving backwards so it makes sense to shift the lever back, and viceversa... just a note :D

    Hi, I had an M3 E46 with SMG2 and I totally understand why people hate it. But I love it.
    First of all, shifting stick direction is right. You may be used to other direction, but is so more natural to shift down pushing.
    About shifting speed, it is unfortunately mostly related to rpms. Try to manually change at the rev limit, and you will get a fast kick you will love.
    This told, I can understand the thrill. I also got a problem where bmw want me to put 2000€, while I solved with an 8€ relay.
