Just got my M5 back on the road and by far the funnest driving experience.
And thank you for the videos. Most people that make content for these cars don’t know much, and don’t even own an S85.. smh
Definitely appreciate your teachings. It was bothering me and other people didn’t have any clue about what I was describing.
Hi all, I did this a couple of days ago now and for me it made a huge difference. I was shuddering and bunny hopping like a beginner in a manual when it was cold.
I have owned the beast for 6 months and the only thing I didn't like (well besides fuel consumption) was the shift.
A couple of people told me the shift was not as bad as I was saying, and now after the reset I see what they mean!
So thanks mate, awesome tip! :)
Hi Bill, that is great to hear that it worked . Thanks for the comment. Cheers !
Bill Pugh is this for the M6
You may have discovered this by now but in case you haven't... Always let the S85 go through its start up cycle before engaging a gear and moving off. Engine sounds rough from cold, and revs over 1,000 rpm slowly reducing and exhaust note changes becoming quieter. When it settles around 600 rpm you are good to go.
If you pull away before it has completed this start up cycle it will be jerky and you may be damaging the engine.
You want all the oil in the right places before you load up. You want your engine hot before you go anywhere near the variable rev limit.
Hope this helps.
You have no idea how much $ and labor you just saved me. E64 had been shifting strange since smg fluid was changed and springs installed. Thank you and I'll pay it forward.
I've been wanting an m5 for a while. Heard the bad and the good. You were definitely a major influence on me just getting one on Sunday. I'm going to be doing the transmission reset on the way home today! Thanks again!
Good stuff Jeremy. What color?
@@ECPP I got it in white.
@@jeremyneubauer639 Nice, I have seen white on red, wow, that pops.
@@ECPP I like the black exterior too, I just don't have what it takes to keep up with keeping it clean
Thank you for your videos man i appreciate your thoroughness and your videos have been a huge help when looking for answers or a point in the right direction with issues or information with my e60 m5!
Thanks for watching, and definitely thanks for the positive feedback. Have a great one, cheers !
Another great video Mark! Thank you! I just bought an M5 last week... I will do this tomorrow. 👍
Thanks for watching.
Thanks again for the info just had a new set of tyres fitted, I'll try this next time i take mine out. Keep up the good work & thanks again for all the information over the last few years, priceless.

Thanks, great video! it improved my e63 m6 smg a lot!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. Can I do this on my 04 545i smg? My car is slipping through the gears and will jerk slowing going forward or in reverse. Just did an oil change to and reset it. Thanks
Hey, just bought a e60 M5 and your vidéos help a lot! I’m french , don’t get 100% of your explanation but anyway I resolved some problems on my M5. Thank U man !
Nice, you should have lots of fun as these cars are amazing. What color is your car ?
Official naming BMW: saphir schwarz. In fact my M5 is quite similar to yours : black / interior black with aluminium / same wheel. Indeed I enjoy the fabulous V10 each week-end : so good !!!
I put 20" on my M5 just did the smg calibration on my 2008 M5 just like you said in the video WOW it help, so easy Thanks
I have a 2006 bmw e60 M5 and I have the yellow cog appear on dash. Car still shifts great with no issues. Brought it to an Indy shop and they replaced relay. When I got it back 8 miles into the drive the yellow cog came back any thoughts thank you.
Thanks Mark, I will have the Barn find 2010 e60 M5 I found last week in my Garage this week, I have found your videos very informative on the upkeep and what to watch out for with the machine. Maybe you could do a show on what you would do to a second hand M5 before and after purchasing. Feeling like an expectant parent at the minute. Cheers
Mark, this is great information,...thank you vm. I'm getting good shifts with my 2010 e60 M5,...but I will certainly keep this procedure in mind! Cheers!!
Thanks again for dropping a line. Have a great one.
Thank You very much it worked just perfekt also to EU cars you are my hero 🤙🏼🙌🏽
Mark u are the man 👍
Thanks a lot for watchibg
Hi Mark! Thanks for your video! Would you happen to know any SMG transmission specialist shops in the Edmonton Alberta region?
Not that I know of
I have an 07 M6 and always felt a clunk when starting from a stop, as if I was in an old truck with a bad U joint...I watched this video, did the reset and immediately the clunk is gone and it shifts very smoothly. Wish I knew this years ago. Many thanks! I am having a intermittent red cog of death but car will appear to be in neutral for 10 sec or so, then light goes out and car resumes shifting as normal...any thoughts?
This was the most helpfull video on the e60 m5 on the tube, atleast for me. This made the shifts a lot smoother. Thx Mark. Is there any trick to reset active drive?
I was with you until you said viper, i then threw up in my mouth LOL! Another great info tubeular.
lol, thanks for watching.
Very good video!!! I have a question about my 09 m6 v10.....car starts most of the time, sometime it doesn't and throws codes like nutz,, why? ( DSC,EDC,n Many others) Any leads? Ne1?
I will be trying this tonight. Thanks for the info!
Appreciate the knowledge 🙏
Some do that often, but everybody should calibrate at least then when tyres are changed, BMW says.
Honestly I personally didn't feel differences
Mine sometimes takes ages to go from 1st to 2nd, I will give this a go, fingers crossed.
Will changing the hydraulic fluid and filter help? no one talks about that. The dealer says need a new hydraulic pump 5k.
Mine did the same until I changed the clutch. New clutch with new style throw-out bearing. I used my Rheingold program to calibrate afterwards and now shifts great! Installed the clutch and bearing myself for $550.00 not including fluid change.
Is the 2005 545i sport package smg transmission a good car?
I just did this and omg it feels like I have a new clutch and gearbox!!! How often is this required? Mine was never done and it was Very very clunky
Thanks a lot for watching. Have a great one.
Thanks for your vids, the enthusiasm for the E60 M5 car is great. I have a well loved E60 M5 from 2005 and I appreciate your content.
Thanks for watching and glad there is value for you guys. Cheers.
Hi brother mine is 2006 and shows the light on the dashboard transmission malfunction and don't start .. What do you suggest replace relays first ... Or maybe you know someone who sales second hand or rebuilt SMG PUMP ..
I'm extremely excited to check this out. Keep em coming Mark.
Will this affect my tune I have on my car if its modified ?? I did update to wider tires.. just the other day I notice transmission malfunction soon at start up but went away on its own
Hello Mark, please i was wondering if you could have any Idea to help.
I just bought a M5 E60 V10 2006 and the car starts and refuse to drive cause its impossible to move the automatique gear nod. The service engine light is on. Pls help
Many thanks! You’re a pro
Does this work on the 08 m6? Mine is showing transmission malfunction and won't go out of second gear.
Can I do it on my e64 M6 smg3?
Yess! I have alpine white e64 too!❤❤❤❤🎉 🤝
You always reveal the secrets!
I hope you enjoyed it. Cheers.
I tried the SMG reset, it works!
Mine is not drivable at the moment. It goes into gear but doesn't engage. Any advice ? I have 06 M5
Will this work for the 2009 M6 E64?
Take too long to get to the point!
On P400 Mode is it normal for the SGM to jump for D2 at start up to D1 randomly? not on M-Mode/P500 or Sport
Jr Zendejas-Ruiz mine does that too but has so many faults. I've heard longitudinal sensor problems can cause this too
Interesting, it makes sense. I have also noticed that when the car is "on" and on an incline or decline, while driving or at a stand still; it sometimes jumps from D2 to D1.
This is because you've got the car at the lowest gearbox setting.... Its assuming you're just taking it easy so no need for quick starts so tries to give you a smoother comfortable ride.... The car will detect inclines and declines and drop to D1 for better pull off without extra clutch slip
Sometimes the gearbox does behave like a spastic and either drops and then changes its mind and makes you look like a dweeb pulling off
Pretty sure this is how to reset the rear differential, which is something you should do when you change tyres. In order to reset the SMG transmission you need the BMW software and a way of connecting it to your computer, you then run through the 'clutch change' steps and it will recalibrate the actuators and clutch slip point.
If you haven't done a video on this, I'd like to see that.
I have a e46 m3 with smg and just had a clutch replacement
It grabs to quickly and thinking it needs to be re learned ??
My 2006 ///M5 gives the “transmission malfunction” alarm. I do the reset in this video and the alarm goes away. I just drove it 12 mi and it alarmed once. I reset it as shown in video and it never alarmed again. Shifts as smooth as always both before and after the alarm and reset.
Can u do this on my 2007 m6?
Yes
Technically, you have to be going 60kph minimum to perform this reset. I would do it twice, to make sure it works
Thanks a lot. Cheers.
What about E63?
Its the same bro
Can I do this in a 2007 bmw m6?
Yes
Where did you hear this? To teach clutch curves or to set to factory curve requires coding via adaptation sequences
It's a quick reset like when you change a tire or adjust pressures you can set this on the setting on your infotainment system... Its basically the driving version.... The static ones easier on your clutch
The system then learns how you drive and picks up all the parameters of the sensors
if this fixes my problem im actually gonna cry... 1 sec, holy shit it did
Thanks
Will try. Pray for me!!!
My 06 m5 is stuttering in 1st gear and reverse gear but only in these gears I have it checked out by many specialists who deal with BMW but no one can figure it out any idea what's wrong with it plz let me know If u can help me out
Hey Bill. Did you get this sorted? Where are you? Without seeing it all I can suggest is to remember it is fly by wire and be smooth with your inputs. Has Mark's reset worked for you?
Assume this works on the Bmw M6 E64 given they have the same engine and SMG transmission?
Same car
I have an M6 and I am just now seeing this video and I’m going to try it it should be the exact same they are the same transmission and engine
do you know where is the Crank Position Sensor #13 62 7 525 015 located on 2006 BMW M5
can this work on 2008 M6 SMG also?
It should be good to go there too. Same gearbox.
Yeah my 2 gear jerks like a mf on my m6
My 2007 M6 2nd and 3nd gear never shifts out at low RPMs
(!!NEVER!!😱😵) I WONDER IF THE CALIBRATION WILL HELP 🤞🤞...
@@ECPP NEED HELP!!
2007 M6 SMG Problem with the hydraulic pressure too low using GT1 Dis to run transmission adaptation.
The old hydraulic pump was bad so I replace with a new motor, the car was able to start but was not able to drive long, maybe about 25 miles and the car just shut off, all light on dash comes on with the red cog of death. It says I need to perform transmission adaptation but while performing the adaptation with GT1 Dis it fails, said the hydraulic pressure to low. Everything passes except that part and bleeding the BLOCK.
I bought a use SMG hydraulic pump. I know I have to bleed the system with my DIS and I wasn't able to bleed the block and also the unit itself. Do I need to program it, if so do I do that first before bleeding the hydraulic unit? The clamp that goes between the reservoir and hydraulic unit keep leaking slowly and I was not able to find the right clamp for it. So I pull the trigger and bought the whole SMG pump with 53k miles on it on eBay.
Please if anyone knows the step by step in the bleeding process with programming it with my DIS/SSS, please send me all the info to my email and longyoa@gmail.com
@@ronaldeverson6848 Did this help your 07 m6? thanks!
How about my 2007 M6 Coupe with the SMG transmission,,will this help/work???????
It may, but also short shifting or shifting t too low a rev will not upshift either way. What type of revs are you at when running a low RPM ?
@@ECPP I will take specifics tomorrow and let you know thankz for the response M brother......
Is this work with us e60m5?
This should be good to go.
ExoticCar PlayPlace
Thanx a lot ...
Can I apply this con 2007 m6?
We have the same beast how's it treating you(LOL 😁, VEGAS)
Ronald Everson it’s been really good .. no Majer problems so far .. it’s. Wen a year now the only thing I did change the coil pack
Hi how i bleed the m5 e60 clutch because the car can not be moving forward nor revers also when i put in gear and brake padal depressd then then car engine shuts off.help me please
U cant bleed the clutch on them they arent a manual, ur most likely going to have to replace ur hydraulic unit
The slave cylinder system can be bleed... This is responsible for your clutch... Look into that
What if it starts but is stuck in neutral
Sounds like trouble
BMW really tainted their reputation with the SMG and subframe defects in their cars. Love the cars until they get 50k miles then they fall apart and become maintenance nightmares.
Dumb question... will this work on a SMG “2”... for a 2006 E 46 M3?
M Schoenfuss no it wont the e46 is a single plate smg basically a manual gearbox with a hydraulic unit, whilst the smg 3 is a twin plate dry clutch gearbox
Yes, it will work on SMG II also!
Yes your suppose to reset after every tire change this dude “Theodore” don’t know what he’s talking about
The awesome m5 guy!!!! Lol
Thanks Gregg
The 530i does have an SMG. Well that's what my manual says that came with my car. Am I wrong Mark maybe I am.
Never seen a 530 with SMG. There are quite a few 650i and 645i with SMG as they pushed those at the dealers. I have seen a 550i with SMG. But frankly I think that was all a BMW marketing. The S85 revs to 8200 and drinks when it get there. SMG was developed to max the 0-60 times and also to get into high gears early in D to save fuel.
In rush hour traffic the car feels awkward. I liken it to holding red meat in front of a wild tiger and saying easy kitty.
@@robi4387 you're absolutely right. I was mistaken. It said that on my manual. Thank God I don't have the SMG. Lol. yeah this is an old comment I've definitely learned more about this part since then. What is still running strong. Hopefully I didn't jinx myself by saying that!
I wish my 654ci was a manual......the smg has been nothing but a nightmare...
@@eightys_style6077 really? I'm even happier my car don't have it. No offense. I don't wish anybody to have trouble with these cars. They're a lot of fun to drive.
@@eightys_style6077 What's the problem(s)? As @Gregg says a lot of fun to drive, but no fun when they break and won't tell you what is wrong.
My 08 m5 got stuck in 1st gear after it died and I can't put it in neutral or reverse. So I can't start the car. Any idea how to reset it or how to fix it?
Any idea why it died ? Did you get a code or lights before that ?
It's probably your slave cylinder on your gearbox for your clutch... It will throw up a clutch position sensor issue and won't normally let you start the engine.... Or you can be stuck in gear
You can't stall the M5... Only if there's a transmission error it cuts out.... Its trying to save you some money
Cycle the ignition on off and let the pumps whine like normal so it can build some pressure.... Usually won't let you start... Flick the gear stick into N slowly after about 5-10 whines
If you're lucky it will let you do it.... Don't put it into gear otherwise you're stuck for sure until you top up the system under the car
If it's stuck in gear you can temporarily fill it but unless it can build pressure it won't let you select neutral.... Fill it and then flick the gear stick left to right slowly... You might be able to get it into N...
You will have oil on the pan/floor of the car.... Its the same as your steering fluid but the reservoir is on the right side of the gearbox... The opposite side of the gearbox oil cooler under the car
@@ECPP normally this kind of problem the car might throw a random transmission error but not cut out... It might skip a gear on the odd occasion and drop into neutral..... But after restarting the car everything can be fine for another thousands miles until it completely fails and you're stuck
start at 4:00
I need help i have a M5 2008 bmw. I have to replace my smg transmission and dsc pump my mechanic is having problem reprogramming the transmission to my car what could be the problem
FAKE!! It’s not a reset of the gearbox but it’s just the reset of the difference between the front and back wheel’s when you change your tires.
Thanks for watching.
You're right... The static version using the infotainment system for tire pressures resets what the car has learnt from your driving style and feedback from its sensors on the wheels and diff
Does that work on a e46 m3 SMG?
Help me out mr expert
Please
I'll let you know the outcome lol
You talk too much
