SMG to 6MT Conversion

Well in the absence of the proper switch, I think the only real options are to retrofit the old style switches (+/- start lock delete), use the euro switch and delete the start lock, or do a hybrid setup with the euro switch for cruise and the old switch for start lock. I suppose one could also use the non-M switch for the start lock and the old switch for cruise.

Anyone know how to open these switches up and expose the board? I imagine it would be as simple as moving a bridge to change the output from ground to +12v

I think they are pretty well sealed

I‘m pretty sure you can use a non m e46 clutch switch with interlock circuit that goes originally to the ews and use this interlock output to feed +12V clutch signal to ECU. And code out clutch interlock in EWS.
Sadly in Euro E46s we don‘t have Start interlock..

I just bought one from eEuroparts. Had to call to make sure, but it got the 61319122700 part. Sales guy had to look it up to make sure it was what was on the shelf.

Anyone need a 35426876898 clutch switch? Make you a hell of a deal!

so did eEuroparts have the right switch on the shelf? I just made an order with them after ordering what was advertised as the correct 61319122700 part on eBay for too much money, only to get the 35426876898 switch.

For what it's worth, I have the 61318363710 cruise/clutch switch wired to DME pin 20 at connector x60002, no clutch start switch, no gps, and my cruise works normally. What coding did you do?

I have a mss54hp dme, and did the following coding:

Assuming you're on the latest software (probably are if it was flashed with a manual tune relatively recently), then 01 to 02 at 0x802a, FFFF at 0x5952, and A0 at 0x88A2.

You give me hope haha, I changed the vehicle order, coded all relevant modules and used Martyn's tool for that part of the coding. My car is an early one so I have a non hp ecu, whenever I have time I'll go to the car and check the hexs manually to make sure the changes were correct.

I have the 701 euro clutch switch installed in my car without a GPS and wired and coded correctly but cruise control doesn't work. The green light does light up but after that it won't work. The car itself works flawlessly with no stalling issues but no cruise control.

can anyone tell me where on this switch I can find the Part#? I see # on a used one I have but when I google, nothing shows up

Re: the 700 clutch switch.

I just contacted my dealer and there are none in the US and the number cannot be ordered anymore. I then reached out to Schmeidmann and they show that the pn# is on back order with no confirmed eta.

Note: The black 898 will work for starting, you just won't have cruise control if wired like a OE M3.

I ordered the Euro switch with p/n xxx701. I read somewhere (maybe in this thread or elsewhere online) that this will work for our swap but we won't have cruise control. It is on order for a few weeks so time will tell for me

Did you have to provide a vin? If so, I’m guessing your vin didn’t work since it didn’t originally come with the switch.

No just the part number.

So i called my local BMW dealership and they are able to get it from Germany.

Their sales manager had to remove the supercession so they could order the xxxxx700 PN.

Did this resolve your issue or do we need the brown clutch to make it work?

I kept getting intermittent no start issues so what I did was code out the clutch to start feature and that resolved that issue. Not the best way to fix the issue but until I'm able to find the proper clutch switch that will have to do.
