No im talking about the E60 M5 (this one \/)


The SMG 7 speed manual


True Manual H 6 speed with a human operated clutch


When i say Manual....i guess i should call it a standard gearbox instead.

now i found this on wiki but i went to every BMW website and cant find anymore info on the 6 speed.

The BMW M5, along with the new M6, were designed to use the new SMG III electrohydraulic manual transmission. The transmission, while responsive at the track, has been criticized for its general lack of smoothness in everyday driving. In October 2006 BMW announced that a 6-speed manual transmission would be available in North America based on suggestions from the motoring press. Unfortunately, this gearbox reduces acceleration performance slightly. The 6-speed manual M5 was marginally slower, since the stability control cannot be disengaged as per the SMG version. The SMG III includes the "Launch Control" feature, which allows maximum performance standing starts automatically. However, the US spec vehicles have a reduced rpm to prevent vehicle damage and abuse.

Do you have a pic of an E60 6 speed manual?

Is it no longer in production?

I think you edited your post on what I was talking about. I seems we both are on the same page now

I thought you said the last M5 had SMG, but its no biggie.

Lil known fact, the E36 had SMG!! It was primitive but that is where it got its start!
Europe only

Yeah some people have swapped it into their U.S cars...like E36 325's with SMG. It's pretty interesting if you ask me, i'd love to try one out
