SMG to 6MT Conversion

[Pace]

Does anyone know if the clutch switch must be part # 61319122700? Still having issues with cruise control and have checked all wiring and coding, everything seems to be working. My only idea now is the supposedly interchangeable part I was sent (#35426876898) does not work for the E46 M3(and likely Z4M and E39 M5).

Yes it needs to be 61319122700. BMW erroneously superseded it in the ETK to the non-M part. I hear if you can convince the parts guy to actually place the order for the old part number it will go through. 61319122701 (Euro M3/M5 switch) would work too, though it's unclear what's different about that one (I think it may not support the clutch interlock).

Thanks Terra!

OK guys, I will be installing DCT tranny and not manual like what most do
I don't need the clutch switch which is fine. i will be keeping the SMG display for gears, now what else beside the manual tune that needs to be fixed or coded on the car?

Are you going to be using the HTG controller?

I think you will be fine if you just code out the clutch switch to start function.

M is brown, non-M is black

M is brown, non-M is black

And along these lines, whenever you order the M3, just tell who ever you are ordering from that you want the 700, otherwise when the number gets typed into BMWs system it automatically supersedes to the 898 which is incorrect. They won't have a problem ordering this, just requires a couple extra steps from the parts guy.

Found a place that has a relatively low labor charge. For those that have done the swap recently, how much did parts cost you (not including the bellhousing)?

~$1500 but it should be a little cheaper than that since I used an RTD shifter with a DSSR.

I recently did the swap and since then I've had a no crank no start issue twice. Both times what allowed the car to start is unplugging the clutch switch and plugging it back in. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? In between both cases, the car would start just fine. It is to note that I haven't removed the SMG ECU.

What are you using for a clutch pedal stop?
