The SMG Gearbox
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=597491
The Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG II) system has 5 automatic "D" and 5 manual "S" programs of varying shift speed, plus one "hidden" program – the fastest of them all - that is only available in manual mode with the DSC system deactivated. I call it the "are-you-crazy" program. BMW calls it S6.
Entering the S6 program, the CSL is showing its full potential. During maximum acceleration, shifts are very fast. There is, however, a noticeable shift process (which BMW claims to take 80 milliseconds). During moderate acceleration, even in S6, SMG seems to shift more slowly, probably assuming that the driver is not in such a hurry. There is a hydraulic clutch that works exactly the same way as in a manual transmission car, only this time there is no clutch pedal as the SMG system is controlling it.
In modern double-clutch transmission cars, shifts are so smooth that the driver hardly notices them at all. With SMG, you will notice when the system is changing gears, and so will everybody else: your passengers, pedestrians and even other cars around you. Especially downshifts are seen and heard from far away. Actually, downshifting is so much fun that in normal street use, I hardly use the brakes at all. When downshifting, the SMG system will calculate the optimum rpm and blip the throttle to match the revs. The driver does not need to adjust the throttle at all. SMG is never tired and never makes a mistake; each downshift is perfect and sounds absolutely divine. Quickly downshifting a couple of gears creates such a roar that it is impossible to keep a straight face. This car makes you smile!
To expect that SMG is both an automatic and a manual transmission in one car, is asking too much. SMG is a manual transmission without a clutch pedal. The driver has to know the rpm and current gear and decide what to do next. When the driver assumes this responsibility and drives in the manual "S" modes, SMG will serve very well. Sometimes it even offers a helping hand: if driver makes a mistake and rpm drops too low, SMG will automatically downshift so that the engine does not stall. However, if the driver is pushing against the redline, SMG does not automatically upshift. It respects the decision of the driver to hold on to the gear. It will only upshift when told to.
Shifts are made by pulling on paddles that rotate with the steering wheel (left paddle is downshift and right paddle is upshift) or by moving the SMG lever in the center console (forward is downshift, backward is upshift). The lever is especially useful when the steering wheel is turned over 180 degrees, as then it is sometimes difficult to figure out the new locations of the paddles, and therefore safer to use the lever. Reverse gear is located left and forward. Moving the lever to the right will toggle between automatic (see the first picture in this post) and manual mode.
The SMG system also features launch control and shift lights. Launch control applies full engine power, and to eliminate wheelspin, it controls the clutch. While this is probably the fastest way to accelerate, knowing how taxing it is on the clutch takes away the fun. Shift lights, on the other hand, are a fun feature, but I dare to say any driver would be able to time the upshifts even without the assistance of the lights.
The big question is, would I have selected a manual box, if that was available? Maybe. But then again, maybe not. SMG is so similar to a manual box, that the feeling you get from using it is almost exactly the same. Well, I know I could give a smoother ride if I was controlling the clutch, so if I was constantly driving with passengers I'd prefer the manual. But when driving alone, the hardcore roughness of the SMG is a plus.
Perhaps it is a good thing that BMW only manufactured the car with SMG. This removes the time-consuming speculation between the alternatives and lets CSL drivers enjoy what they've got.
This is the S4 setting that I normally choose for everyday street use. Notice how there seems to be one more "empty orange box" to fill, i.e. the faster program S5.
The SMG shift speed selector. Strangely, the symbols on the button hint to the existence of a mysterious sixth shift program!
Now the SMG is set at S5 and it looks as if there are no faster programs available. Still, the SMG button was telling another story.
Oh yes, the DSC. Pressing the DSC button will disable the Dynamic Stability Control and allow selecting the super-fast S6 shift program. (You can see that I have also activated Sport mode, just because the illuminated LED looked better in the picture. It has no impact on shift speed.)
DSC is deactivated. You'd better know what you're doing now.
DSC deactivated, finally the S6 reveals itself. There it is, available to be selected!

Somebody told me there's another ///M here. :O
Oh and don't knock SMG in its stock form, it can be better with a few firmware upgrades. LOL

Can anyone guess how much I paid for this M3?
2005 BMW M3 SMG with 90,000 Miles. Silbergrau Metalic exterior / Black interior with Brushed Aluminum Trim.
-Has every option except the competition package.
-Always adult owned by non-smoker, and other than the tinted windows and BMC airfilter (k&n style), this is a stock, unmodified, never tracked, practical sports car
-Clean Carfax and title
-Still love the car and the only reason I'm selling it is because I'm looking to switch to a two wheeled BMW.
-Spent all but the last year of its life in southern California, so no rust or other salt damage. Very rarely saw rain and never saw snow. Always garaged and/or covered, so paint and plastic trim/rubber seals are in excellent shape
-Mostly highway miles between LA and Vegas by previous owner (not typical SoCal stop-n-go traffic)
-Paint in excellent shape other than a few minor stone chips on front bumper and hood (bigger ones on front bumper in pictures are bug splatters that I didn’t notice until I uploaded the pics)
-Interior is almost flawless. Was meticulously cleaned and treated regularly, so the leather is still supple and smooth. Drivers left seatback bolster has the tiniest show of wear (worse in pictures than in real life). Very small nick in the drivers door leather above the side mirror adjustor (see pic).
-Extremely well maintained. Always used OEM filters and Castrol 10W-60 TWS Synthetic Oil
-Front brakes, water pump, drive belts and ignition coils were replaced (by a dealer) before I bought it.
-Rear brake pads were changed recently, as well as the air pump hose (crack in hose caused incorrect airflow code on cold morning starts).
-Some minor curb scuffing on rims
-Outside mirrors have slight staining from auto darkening fluid
-Just got brand new rear tires (the ones in the pics are the old ones), fronts are over 50%
-I had a highly reputable SoCal BMW specialist do a PPI before I bought it some years back and passed with flying colors. No SMG, VANOS or rear suspension issues
-Power seats w/lumbar adjustments, drivers seat has adjustable bolsters.
-Factory GPS Navigation, Bluetooth phone connectivity (not just pre-wired) and single disc CD player.
-Includes both keys, all original manuals and paperwork, trunk tools (including the electric tire inflator).
-These are the factory installed options:
Cold weather package (rear seat center armrest with ski bag, high pressure headlight cleaners, heated front seats), Premium Package (power front seats w/driver memory, BMW assist, Nappa leather upholstery), Front and side airbags, Rear Spoiler, Power glass moonroof, Adj seat back width and lumbar support, Park distance control, Xenon self leveling headlights, On-board navigation system, Harmon Kardon sound system w/10 speakers, 19” M double spoke polished wheels, Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG), Metallic pant (Silbergrau), Variable intermittent rain sensing wipers
-Also included is an OEM car cover, front license plate bracket, and a spare oil filter.
