The Dealer called today, BMWNA has determined my 545i's Hydraulic Pump for the SMG will need to be replaced.

- Has anybody had only the pump replaced? (Should I request any other parts from BMWNA?)
- Has anybody had this problem twice (perhaps the new pumps have addressed the issue?)
- What is the latest version of SMG software that should be loaded?

Thanks for your help.

Nothing can be guaranteed a one time fix. BUT what i can tell you is there have been a handfull of people here who have replaced the Hydraulic pump and I havent heard back from them that they've had any problems since.

I think I posted that... in your previous thread... have your dealer check your hydraulic pressure....

I would venture to say you should be ok for a long time after the pump is replaced. Let them repalce it and see what happens.

Hey Blanco545i, everything working with the car now? Did the pump replacement do the trick? Are you having a blast?
