My Ride: I have a 2007 Black Sapphire BMW 530i with SMG. It has the auburn interior, has PDC, Sports Package, Premium Package, rear automatic sunshades with manual side sunshades, 35% black tint, Upgraded angeleyes from Angelibrights, and Logic 7 Sound System
Model Year: 2007
Default Smg to manual

So my smg hydrolic pump crapped out and its $4500. A local bmw performance shop is currently swapping in another manual transmission and putting in the necessary components such as slave, cylinder, pedal assembly, etc.

I think coding and wiring is the hardest part that they said will take time to figure out. So far they have had the car for a month...I will probably check up on it sometime this month.

I have a 2007 530i n52 SMG...now manual. This will be my first manual car. I have about 83000 miles and I am original owner. I hope this renews my love for this car because I have invested a lot already in cosmetics and preventive maintenance.

Nice keep us posted as I've been considering this option. There's a e61 currently doing the swap I think his name is Evan you might want to ask him if you have any questions he's very knowledgeable

Purchased in June 2006 brand new...has 84,000 miles currently when this happened. Lots of city driving and parking garages. It was fun while it lasted but I dont want to risk another pump going bad in the future.
