Wow, Eisenmann 😮. The system every BMW nut dreamed about putting on their car in the early-mid 2000s, no matter if it was actually an M or just 318i 😂. Big investment for an exhaust but well worth it. Cannot share the view of some people that this car is a money pit. All older BMWs will have issues, especially if one drives them properly.

@@munich.motorwerks you laugh but I have said nothing untrue. What other cars have such a propensity to throw a ££££ bill? Even Birds BMW warn people off them.
That Eisenmann exhaust sounds amazing 🔥, & from the big smile on your face, I can see how much you were enjoying it too! It's a real shame about the problems you faced with the clutch/gearbox, but perhaps now's the time to consider installing a totally manual gearbox. Whatever you decide, just keep 'living the dream!'
Chin up brother it's all a test, rebuild with upgrading parts in my humble opinion, keep up the good work I'm sure you will have running better than factory inshallah 🤲🏾🤲🏾
I can guarantee it won't be kept long. These cars are too unreliable and sap bank accounts dry regularly. He will pump thousands into it and it will want more and more.
sounds gearbox/clutch rather than the smg. smg usually wouldnt select at all if faulty and throw up a light on the dash. smg is a pretty simple system. pump motor builds pressure for multiple shifts, solenoids release pressure when gear selected. pump then builds pressure agin when multiple shifts occur. if you can select all gears. its working. inpa is a must have tool for smg owners.
Have done something similar, I guess when your clutch is thin already downshifting on 8k rpm can destroy the remaining clutch. After that my shifts has become rough from standstill. When we opened the clutch, 1/2 of clutch was gone. I think the robot did actually well driving with 1/2 clutch plate. The gearbox is pretty ok, I suggest when you drop it to shrink wrap or in my case put liquid electrical tape on the wiring harness. You will see it on the top, the wires are thin so best to protect it. This part can’t be bought individually, it comes with the gearbox. I also did mine using Luk and Sachs clutch kit from FCP Euro.
Shame about the gearbox, loving the new exhaust though and this beauty of a machine MA. Your intro rev shot sounds very much like the Evolve automotive intro video!
Get the gearbox rebuilt properly using stronger upgraded internal components. Sorry to hear about the gearbox but it is a common fault on these and they keep on going wrong 😑. Lastly what magnetic holder are you using for your phone? It seems decent.
Looks like clutch. It could be the start of a plcd issue, mine behaved like that when it failed, but I also got the yellow and red cog of death. In a rare case it could be one of the solenoids. The box itself is strong, the hydraulics and electrics are what fail around it.

If memory serves, last time he had problems start to show up with the SMG, it was after doing burnouts.. probably time to take the hint that the gearbox doesn't like it.
Exactly what I was thinking when watching it. Doing repeated burnouts like that in the dry puts so much load through the gearbox it heats right up. Everything is in the gearbox is now working inside a pressure cooker.
Forget about the break down.... this is part of the process. This V10 sounds 10/10 💯💯 EVOLVE or Tom Wrigley will definitely sort u out..... damn I love that high pitch exhaust note. Dope content brother.... and how about that link up with Joe @TR 👌🤛👏🇿🇦
Would you say that for a daily driver, the sport would be a better option? I think I'm getting old and still love a good exhaust note, just not too loud. But it sounds outstanding 👌
I did want to comment that last video.. had a feeling the gearbox was on its way out sounds like not enough oil & caused damage. MANUAL SWAP. Has to be. That would be phenomenal.
this is exactly what happened to my car. Ended up being the clutch position sensor. Would cause the clutch to forget its position and collide with the flywheel like a bad manual driver trying to learn how to drive. Might be a cheap fix if its just that sensor. Best of luck friend
Deffo clutch gone. Gearbox can't be rebuilt bmw don't sell the parts to rebuild, they tried to sell me a new gearbox for 10k. Drivetribe are doing a manual conversion for around 5k I think. Worth thinking about.
beatiful car,but smg box and rod bearing issues are a worry,thelucky yanks get the manual,so im guessing a conversion is easyish....,but harder to come by over here in UK
The car probably has a leak or worn clutch. This looks more of internal leaks. There are o-rings in the actuator block for the solenoids over times it wore out due to age and the fluid essentially bleed out.
Salaam brother love the sound on the m5 propa machine.. i just wanted to ask u what is the name of the phone holder u have in ur car on the dash by the vent because i been trying to look for a sturdy phone holder.. also bloody hell 15 bills for clutch on that thing
