5-speed e39 540iT, Do they exist??

[giantkeeper]

SMG? That's a manual transmission...

The SMG paddles work with auto tranny too.

[ZM Blue Devil]

Its not SMG, you retain the existing Steptronic Auto Trans.

You install the e46 m3 paddles shifter steering wheel, there is a cable you run from steering control unit to shifter.

When you put the transmission in Sport mode the paddles activate.

I can take pics if really interested.

Or someone can buy a 2001 540 Dinan S2 M5 body Touring with 30k miles and enjoy it themselves.

Your dash will be lit up like a Xmas tree if you swap a manual in.

With Progman or WinKFP + Daten files you can easily solve that issue :)

You know there is an article in Bimmer magazine about your car. I read it today about how it was 100g new and is worth the asking price.

sounds like you've been learning the same stuff! :)

540iTs never came in stick in the US. Sedan 540i 6 speeds are actually rather plentiful though.

ditto this

Hell I have 3 friggen T30's dedicated to it, that plus the Yellow diag head, USB OBD2 cable, the circular adapter, Carsoft cable, all that crap lol

[nando]

it's funny because I also have a T30, but I got it years and years ago, for MS tuning. It ended up being perfect..

[ZM Blue Devil]

how much?

The steering wheel, airbag and wiring I believe cost just shy of 2k. The car is forsale for 25k.
