Well its been over a decade I think since the first introduction of the SMG, has anybody done this to a M50 family motor?

If you google s54 smg, a lot of videos of E30s come up so I'm sure its doable. Haven't seen any build threads though.'90 325is Schwarz

I think the biggest issue is going to be price. A unit for my Mitsubishi starts around 8k. Then you have to think about clutch longevity, since you do not control how it's engaged/disengaged. I always run mine is the highest Sport settings as this tells the TCU to give the least amount slip during engage out of the other settings. The special fluids required and their price. The extra cooling required with a remote rad.
At least this appears to be a dry clutch setup and more traditional versus what others use (wet setup and 2 sets of clutch packs, one for even and one for the odd side).Comment

Does it require it's own TCU or does it piggy off the ECU?Comment
