Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Well I'll beef hooked! Any chance it could be integrated into the ICE / parrot system? Does seem odd that the seller would make no mention of a SMG box...... and with my extremely limited understanding of BMW SMG I thought it was only a part of an auto trans?

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Hmmm, yeah probably a conversion, SMG to manual. Notice the instrument cluster has the different style LCD panel under the rev counter. Compared to this, which is probably a stock manual Edited March 31, 2013 by Michael. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1071 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 check 2nd pic.. i spy a small + signMaybe I should have saidI've been drinking Me no see paddles I thought they'd be more visible here, under the steering spokes, but aren't there. The other shots looked liike bits of dashboard to me. Of course now... I've got no cider on board.... looks very much like a plus sign Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 So when all the BS is done and dusted what does it all mean? Ray would you like to chim in and explain "one of our conversions" please because I'm confused. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I would have thought it was pretty self explanatory.... Ray converted it from SMG to manual for the client/seller? Edited April 1, 2013 by KwS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1rotty 40 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 SMGs break on a very regular basis Manual conversion is a good option when this happens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks for that Mark, Kelvin was aware that the early smg gave trouble and $$$$$ to fix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f0rky 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Yup, This is a Automatic to Manual conversion done by HellBM. The owner is a friend and should be removing the paddles to avoid confusion in due course! I also drove it last weekend a few times and it's such a pleasure to drive, coming from a SMG its great having control of the third pedal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
