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.

Think about the weight transfer during acceleration and braking and you'll realize push forward to downshift and pull backward to upshift is the correct way.

[@snotface8]

Idk I disagree why its that way. I feel like it mimics the pull from 1st to second gear shifter. Other than that I feel like it is wrong. My audi, on the infotainment system the knob moves the opposite direction for down, and that seems like a mistake.

[@jaesindnb6197]

I agree! Forward is downshift, backward is upshift. It’s a natural feeling

@@snotface8 if you've ever driven on a track before you'd know that under hard braking your body is pushed forward and pushing the shifter to downshift is much easier. Same when you're in full acceleration your body is pushed back in the seat so pulling the shifter to upshift is much more natural. Every race car with a sequential shifter works this way.

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.

@@joakimquensel597 Without having my hands on the car I can give you a 100% confident "maybe?" 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.

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.

[@mfendley]

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. Same in any rally/touring car.

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.

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.

The shifter in performance cars is always up when pulling towards you, because youre using the G-Force you create while accelerating to push the arm backwards. Same goes for heavy braking.

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

[@chazzftw9313]

The beeping at 10:00 is the hourly reminder. I have it on mine. It beeps every hour and you can turn it off in the idrive time and date settings.

[@jzucchetto]

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.

You did not have to replace all 10 coils at 100k miles. People also think they have to replace brake sensors when they replace the pads. Driving in M-mode will not burn up the clutch if the clutch is not slipping.

[@aussie2uGA]

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.

[@blackericdenice]

@@aussie2uGA Whoever told you that, lied to you. It's not even a sensor. It's just a single wire that grounds when the pads wear down. You would know this if you ever worked on a BMW. Don't try and say you have done a brake job. Upload a video.

[@evanupshur]

You've come so far. I think everybody wants to see you to finish this project. If you put a manual gear box in this car, it would truly be a timeless machine. Think about all of the people that have already given up on this car. If you could just push a little further, you will not only enhance this cars performance, but its rarity as well! The best of luck,

Shifting back to up change and forward to down change is absolutely the correct layout for a sequential box.

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.

jameswillard1 You can't do it with a dual clutch either. It's a torque converter thing. I am amazed at the number of YT channel car reviewers that have no clue about this. Even Savagegeese who comes across as a technical guy did it.

[@carsociety705]

Literally! I just can't stand people who don't care about a car brand and buy it just to make it look bad. Thats a good example here the previous owner was clearly not BMW guy and didn't take well care of the car, and now hoovie bought it without knowing a danm about it, and now he is talking butter about. I'm not a amg guy I stay away from it I don't critic all I know all cars have problems....

[@jameswillard1]

Cassette Walkman yeah, Hoovie is always boasting about what an idiot he is and now I’m starting to believe he really is to literally have no idea of what was going on with the mechanics of the car and how this would never work as the automated clutch of a sequential gearbox doesn’t fully disengage until the wheels are fully moving. So basically unless he was just trying to destroy the clutch I’m not sure what he was hoping was going to happen. It’s literally no different than if he went to a steep incline and then proceeded to hold the car with a light throttle before the clutch disengagement point. This has always been the Achilles heel of these transmissions and I have literally witnessed transport drivers ruin clutches on sequential gearbox cars by loading them on steep carries and creeping up slowly to the point that the clutch lining basically starts melting 🤦🏻‍♂️
