Yep you read it right, I have a 07 BMW SPORT WITH ALL THE M5 TRIM ORGINAL FROM BMW. ITS CALLED THE "BABY M5" and almost a one of a kind.... I have been looking for years for someone that can do this.. I called many folks that did M3 SMG/Manual conversions... they all said it's never been done and it cant be done... well thats now a lie.. it can be done and I now have a perfectly working SMG tranny, drive shaft and rear diff for sale... and the smg computer... with with a new SMG pump... soon I will post the video he did.... when I have the video I will share the company that did the work.... the work he did was simply amazing...all the programming rewiring and installation for the drive train.

No its not for sale ... next step is a super charger... opps further research says that a supercharger is not in the cards... maybe some Dinan upgrades...

You the Man, what an accomplishment. Enjoy that ride. I'm sure you'll be very helpful to the site for the next person that tries such a thing.

Yep and its awesome shifts like a dream, tons of power, I was told the SMG is tied into allot of the car... allot of wierd computer stuff and wiring he did not expect.. and was much different than the E60 M5's he did.

Yep, I will post the video he did as soon as I get it.... I got lucky and found the transmission, driveshaft and rear diff on ebay.. all needed to be replaced for the Manual conversion. all in perfect condition and car was built 2 months after mine...
