RIP SMG

Those M5 are the biggest , fragile , violent work of arts I’ve seen ever smiles and tears all at once.

Hamza and Joe Achilles - The link up we all wanted 🔥🔥🔥

Love that new eissenman exhaust note! Really accentuates that v10 beast! Shame about the gearbox/clutch issue, hopefully u get it fixed and then have lots of time to enjoy it problem-free!!

Absolutely mega meeting you finally mate 🙌 Shame I had to leave and missed that final sound, absolute perfection! Sorry about the gearbox, at least that will be fresh when I drive it 😉👊

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!'

The link up with Joe has to happen. Dream team for me. Was mad seeing you both together.

Genuinely love this channel . Keep pumping vids bro

Was scared to watch from the title 😱mate admittedly I have not watched every single one of your videos, but most of them, this was one of your best boss🫶🏽you seemed more relaxed 👍🏽🤷🏽‍♂️😂loved the noise of the beast👌🏽👌🏽🔥🔥🔥

Another cracking video looking forward to the link up with Joe 👍

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 🤲🏾🤲🏾

This was the exact color combo and exhaust I had.........DAMN AWESOME BEAST!!! I miss that sound.

amazing video as allways, dont forget, these problems are nice problems to have, much love , keep it up

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!

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. If you still love it, fix it use it and potentially fix it again 😬.

Car sounds mad can’t wait to see more content sad time for e60 but hey guess we gonna get more fun from it after the common faults

I don't know how you so happy after this happened haha, my heart dropped when i had to get a turbo replacement on my bmw 😭

I'm liking these daily uploads 👌

Last vid I watched of yours was the restoring of the GC8 impreza turbo years ago, I've been subscribed and not seen a vid reccomended to me by YT since then until now 😂 got alot of vids to watch at least 👌

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.

Great show, looking forward to the fix

one hell of a smile 😁when that started up...sound fantastic. Hope all goes well with G/Box

Love the tone on this, she’s definitely an iconic motor 🔥😎

Miss my Eisenmann Race but I love my Meistershaft GTS and Xpipe 💪🏻🏎. I hope you get the clutch sorted out! 🙏🏻

Enjoyed the burnouts, she was screaming!! What a sound.

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 👌🤛👏🇿🇦

Sounds amazing as expected

The sound is just sensational, lots of surport from South Africa bro 💪👌🔥💥

Awesome modification hamza.wot a epic sounding car them v10's also they have got the pace to match.🔥💯✔👊

Hamza's happiness and full face smile when revving the car up: pure joy. I'm happy for you my friend, do you think this m5 is a forever car?

Sounds amazing, really deep

E92 m3 DCT gearbox swap 🤷🏽‍♂️

Masha’allah sounds insane. Shame about the common E60 SMG problems but hey ho joys of owning a M Fizzy 😑

This video makes me 😔 hate seeing an E60 M5 like this. I'm sure you'll get it back to it's best! The best exhaust for an M5 😍

I'm a big fan of joe his a real bmw guy and knows how to drive

Wow omg this is crazy mashala what a weapon bro ❤

Yesss 👌🔥🔥🔥 unleashed the beast 👹💯

Never been a better time to manual swap 😉

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.

I have a tubi rumore exhaust and its the best sounding cat back for this car, i did all the research before i got it, its perfect

I’m sure you’ll get it sorted dude 👍

It'll be good when she's sorted man, sounds awesome... 👌

welcome to the Eisenmann exhaust club!!

I’m a fan of the muffler delete personally, but if I were to get a back box, it would most definitely be an Eisenmann race.

MANUAL SWAP!!!!! Let’s go champ

Man like Hash. He did my stage 2. Good lad he is.

Sounds insane 👌

😂😂 Mate you crack me up. Still making me laugh at the end of the video where I'd be in the foetus position crying if it were me ha.

Wow sounds amazing, proper beast. 👌

Good content and well presented 👍

Exhaust sounds sick!

Ohhh nooo, bad luck with the gearbox, the exhaust sounds amazing though!

these cars are so insane

Nice cameo from JA!

Epic sounds a bit like a LFA!! cant get better than that 🤣

Hamza man this had me rolling

That sounds sick bro

Awesome sound

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 👌

Dude that's perfect sound 👌🏿 😎💪🏿🔥

A few of my clutch pressure plate bolts failed years ago causing the vanes on the pressure plate to lift slightly, The clutch position sensor didn’t know where the biting point was making the drive home very rough and jerky, maybe this is what happened to yours.

Perfect chance to do a DCT swap on this bad boy. 👌

InshaAllah easy repair and back on the roads in no time👊 what a beast

Sounds brilliant....sort out the joe achillies colab💪🙂

it sounds wel good mate!

Gutted for you man get it fixed and hopefully it will give you years of trouble free enjoyment. Well I,LL keep me fingers crossed anyways.

Running or not running cars legendary

Sounds nasty bud 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It certainly does have a f1 pitch 😍😍

Gutted for you mate but you’ll get it sorted. Nice to see my M5 in the background at Evolve!

Bit sad, but isnt this what E60 m5 experience is supposed to be? :x

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

To be able to find one of these that hasn't been revved to moon n multiple burn outs, would be great.

Sounds amazing

Dudee this is awesome ماشاء الله

That is a beast 👍🏼

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.

3:29 sounds perfect just make custom pipes to the rear now and leave it like that.

that is the best sound ever

lovely sound.

When I bought my new v10 back in 2007 everyone wanted this exhaust but were too expensive.

The E60 M5 - what an absolute master peice of BMW engineering, love that V10 sound

Mashallah naughty, rip smg I’m dreading that repair cost for you 🤣😩

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

Sounds like the best thing on the roads....

thats gonna be an intresting fix to see. no one really touches on gearboxes

What happened to the S3 video with the engine blowing up? Was it the oil pump?

Manual conversion !! I sold my m6 because of the smg gear box just constantly worrying 😫😫

You met joe achillies wow!! Mr bmw himaelf in the flesh

Masha’Allah, lovely car! Got 1 myself, that’s y I know the costs lol… u should check solenoids or SMG hydraulic pump Very common fault on these cars

What a proper engine and exhaust note sorry a out the gbox :( any chance you can convert it to mdct the way bmw should have made it.

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

bro when the gear box is done drive 1 gear and 3 gear and 5 to save little bite of the gear box😂

Sticky throttle actuator or dsg issue keeping clutch engaged.

Sorry about that. I have a manual e63 m6. Its been rock solid to me. The v10 is exceptional

The guy from 0 to 60 thit e 8hp45 swap from e 335i. Maybe someting to try, faster shifts I think you will be the first in the world to try it.

Sounds great! More Lambo-esque than F1, I reckon!

Best exhaust for BM’s

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.
