This is part 1 of an 3 part series devoted to 6-speed manual swapping a 2006 BMW E60 M5. In this segment, I discuss the project at a high level, talk about what parts will need to be acquired, discuss some wiring, show the teardown process, and more.

Wow Ryan, thanks for documenting this so well and putting together such a fascinating video. Another incredible contribution by you to support M5 owners worldwide which is hugely appreciated. I’m going to really enjoy watching this process. All the very best of luck with completing this mammoth undertaking! Given the thoroughness of your videos this will probably encourage a lot of people to take this on with your roadmap, so hopefully BMW start reproducing the necessary parts!

More recently a couple ecu companies have finally cracked the programming of the dct so we'll probably see a lot more swaps soon. Problem is, no one has figured out how to send the proper torque request commands from the dct to the s85 ecu via its canbus and tbh I'm not sure if they ever will because there's probably not enough interest out there.

They did not because the car was never designed for it in the first place. It was supposed to be the first M5 to be some sort of automatic. Same story applies to the F10 M5 and the only reason that the E60 and F10 had manuals in NorthAm/Canada because of the demand but ironically few were made/sold.

@dix-neuf3548 3 жыл бұрын
I don't have an official answer, but here is what I think. I believe that it's because in the US a manual almost always mean sport since they are rare. So an American M5 customer would want the sportiest iteration, so they offered a manual option. Here in Europe manuals are common, but high-end cars are almost exclusively automatics, and because the M5 is in my mind a true GT with 4 doors, it makes sense that an european customer would want an automatic. The wish for a manual e60 is mostly because the SMG 3 was so bad, the DKG in the F10 has made the manual option obsolete in my opinion.

I dont think that will be easy, the smg is tied in heavily to the steering angle sensor and the accelerations sensors, it will take some very special coding and module deleting to make that work without having engine reduced power , maybe a flash from a manual car, but the whole car is pretty much geared toward the SMG

When I started watching this video I thought it was from 10 years ago due to all the parts not being known. You can take protools and code out smg in the vo and code in manual transmission type and it will do EVERYTHING for you. The drive shaft can just be taken from a e60 manual 535i because it has the same gs6-53bz as the 335i, m3 and 535i possibly others I don't know about. I am working on this swap so yes I can 100% confirm this world

This is a relatively new procedure, ultimately. Simply removing S276 and adding 2MA to the VO and then processing the car will 'work', though this is not optimal. The 535i driveshaft might fit, though it will certainly fail prematurely. The M5 received significantly stronger driveline components to handle the increased power output.

That is possible with the SMG-II transmission found in the E46 M3, as it is just a 6-speed manual gearbox with hydraulics on it. The SMG-III found in the E60 M5 is a 7-speed made specifically to be a SMG. Converting it to a manual would give the shift pattern of 2, 4, 6, 7, 5, 3, R, 1 which would be very difficult to drive.

One only needs to understand the nuances thereof and "Flick" off the gears! Are there times I wish I had a Manual? Yes! However, if I did have a manual E60 M5,...I'd just be "Blipping" the throttle at every freak'n Stop Sign,...Traffic Light, etc. Which is wear and tear on the Timing Chain,...the Time Chain Guide Rails,...of course, the Throttle Actuators.

Thank you! I know people are working on the DCT swap, but I don't see any benefit of this over the SMG. Sure, it shifts more quickly, but you don't gain any control or enjoyment like you do with the manual. My understanding is tons of totally custom programming is required, and not all features work with the DCT. We only offer the true manual conversion.

I always wonder if it’s possible to take all of the hydraulics off of the E60’s transmission, and convert it to 7speed manual (like how E46 SMG can be swapped to manual in this manner) 7 speed transmission has a better gearing for the S85’s powerband, and 7 speed manual in a v10 sedan, if doable, would be a strange and amazing conbination

@E39Source 3 жыл бұрын
It is theoretically possible, but the shifting pattern would be way out of whack. The gears are not in order 1-2-3-4-5-6/7 like the E46 M3's 6-speed SMG II.

Awesome project. Wasn’t BMW initially mounting a stock 550i 6-speed into the M5? I think the S85 in combination with a proper manual like the one you’re installing will be a dream come true. Unfortunately there wasn’t even an option here in germany for a manual, only smg. Are you sure about the oil cooler?
@E39Source
@E39Source 4 жыл бұрын
I would be surprised if the 550i V8 transmission would bolt up to the S85. I am 100% sure that the E60 M5 manual did not come with or need a transmission oil cooler. No manual BMW before it used an oil cooler for a manual.

E39Source They both have the ZF GS6-53BZ transmission. The M5 transmission does have a different part number than the one of the 550i though, so I think you’re right, it isn’t interchangeable (mount).

@@E39Source well, the n13 engine is the engine that equips Bmw 316i f30, bmw 116i and 118i f20, it is similar to the N14 and N18 equipped in Mini, and the N13 engine, also known as 'Prince Engine' or 'Thp' equips Pegeout models and Citroen. Well, what I know is that the N13 works on the zf8hp, the 316i f30, 116i and 118i with this engine use zf8hp, and well, if it works on this gearbox, would it work on the zf6hp too?
