If I could find a written off car with SMG transmission and the correct parts in theory would it be possible to retrofit my automatic steptronic car with it ??

Does anyone know if they did SMG on the 530d's btw ?

Failing that I wonder if there is a way to speed up the shifts on the auto box a bit more somehow ?

TIA

In theory it's possible... in reality highly doubtful.

I couldn't get anyone to guarantee my car would work properly if I changed the rear end gear ratios because I have a steptronic trans.

The programming/computer/ECU issues would be a nightmare and no one would guarantee your car will work properly and the dealer certainly would not touch it.

I would say yes on a 530i/545i/550i, but don't know on the diesel.
Maybe it could work, but nobody knows.
If you have time and money to waste...

Yo Alex...

Happy New Year

When are you going to put a pic of your car in your sig?

I need see those aweseom OZ wheels, almost bough OZ's several times but the BBS just sucks me in

Thanks! To you too Marty!



I prefer a clean signature =)



I have OZ on the Mini: 8Kg each against 12kg of the 17" stock wheels.

Now there is a new OZ product: 6.35 Kg only! For comparison, a 166 weighs 11Kg.

Ok thanks

Im getting the feeling unless they fitted SMG to the Diesel its probably not worth it then........

You can try.. But nobody made it before so nobody knows
