how do you know this SMG was not modified? because i can guarantee you that an SMG built to work with 260 ft/lb of torque cant just be swapped into the e39 m5 making 270 ft/lb just like that without modifying the transmission.
why else do you think BMW did not include the SMG for the e39 m5? |
The E46 and E39 shared the same Getrag 420g transmission rated for 369ft/lb, though the the latter utilizes a HD clutch disc.
There was almost no consumer desire for SMG on the E39 M5 nor the vehicle I posted earlier...
