Wow. I have a '01 e39 M5. Please give much more detail.

[@Jigsaw1988]

The performance must be amazing with this DCT. I wonder what the 0-60 time would be compared to the manual

[@MadmanInUkraine]

Really really brilliantly impressive!!! Been thinking about this but... No way I'd be able to tinker out this kinda stuff.

[@dzlnitro]

Paul I have been following your posts on the HTG page and thank you for being the test dummy for this project as I have just secured a 2002 525i Touring chassis that will be my donor !

[@jamesdills6720]

OK.... You've pulled off something I've wanted to do for a while. Are you planning a how to on the install? Lots of work I'm sure.

[@WestinghouseProductions]

A lot of hard work, head scratching and problems encountered. Unfortunately no how-to video as it’s been a 2 month battle from start to finish.

[@jamesdills6720]

​@@WestinghouseProductions Figured as much... great content BTW

[@FYI86]

@@jamesdills6720 there's a company called HTG Tuning who sell gearbox control units for these including wiring harness and PMC Performance machine adapter plates👍 check out their websites for more info

[@WestinghouseProductions]

@@FYI86 That’s the GCU running the DCT here too. Great product, let down by the unreliable ‘beta’ firmware at the moment.

[@navytapaul]

This is awesome

[@mrsliickz]

Could you provide more details on what is involved in getting this DCT transmission to work on the M5 such as parts list, what kind of fabrication is required, and whether it is an improvement over the 6 speed GETRAG? Thank you.

[@LPE396Vette]

Awesome!!

[@waynerobinson8822]

Wowwww been thinking about doing this to my e90 325i but didn’t think it was possible. Pretty cool

[@HansKruus-gt2ch]

How do you shift it, just use the paddles or is feet also needed?

[@WestinghouseProductions]

Paddles on the steering wheel after selecting the drive mode with the shifter.
