Lmao

"Out of the mouth of babes."
Love that college money
@@SundarSrinivasHarish actually we're the ones paying for that account lmao, as long as he keeps making videos
9:15 that's actually the right way! Up is down, and down is up. Race cars have it this way because it works with you when you want to change gears during acceleration and braking!
Thank you! I've loved having it the right way around on all my Mazdas.
I had a 2008 528i and it was the same
It's the logical way
Exactly.

The shifter is not upside down. That is the correct way it should be. When you are speeding up, and upshifting it is more natural to pull the shifter back. Even more so, when decelerating and downshifting to push on the shifter. It is totally awkward the other way, if you are slowing and your weight is being pushed forward, to then pull back on the shifter, and pushing you even more forward.
sHillChannel In all fairness I’ve heard that before because in the early steptronic shifting bmws orientation was the way Hoovey thought it should be
Fargo Holmes yea, as I sit in my 2000 bmw 323 with the backwards forward + back for -. It’s a good thing that it’s not used in that mode.
Just like on an aircraft...
Every rally car, pneumatic gearbox car has push to down and pull to up..
I ended up with a Mini automatic, and I was very please to know that BMW had kept the towards yourself as an up shift and away as a down shift. It was very helpful while taking it onto a dirt road.
No. Upshift should ALWAYS be pull toward you. This is one of the very few cars that have that right.
True. Those M5s had robot to automaticly change the gears so thats the reason you feel like its like delay.
That's weird. I don't care if it's the "right" way. The "wrong" way is much more intuitive in my opinion.
@@car_lov3r it makes more sense to have it like this BMW has it. When accelerating, weight shifts back so it makes sense to pull towards you to upshift. Under braking, you're enetria is going forward, so pushing up makes sense to shift down a gear
Correct
Yes, it's easier to pull back under acceleration and vise versa under braking
You should have bought an OEM BMW wire hanger. Using cheap no name wire hangers won't be as good of a repair.

Impressive to see how BMW allready back then had introduced the ambient interior lighting feature. But not as configurable as in today's cars, the "check engine" theme was the only available option. Came as standard on the M5 though.
Hahahaha
impressive ?!? ambient lighting yet the hyped V10 is an unreliable POS
BMW was also in the very forefront when it comes to IT security. In fact, the first generation i-drive system is so inaccessible that CIA, up to this day, still use the software to store highly classified information deep down in the menus.
@@joakimquensel597 BMW is also in the forefront of POS engines and brittle transmissions. The e39 m5 is a far better car.
@@talkditingsdem5799
Yes, it is true that the M5 V10 engine used the latest and most advanced version of the BMW POS technology. That's why the BMW engineers developed and fitted the (V)ANUS-system. ☝️🙄
Think about the weight transfer during acceleration and braking and you'll realize push forward to downshift and pull backward to upshift is the correct way.
Idk I disagree why its that way. I feel like it mimics the pull from 1st to second gear shifter. Other than that I feel like it is wrong. My audi, on the infotainment system the knob moves the opposite direction for down, and that seems like a mistake.
I agree! Forward is downshift, backward is upshift. It’s a natural feeling
@@snotface8 if you've ever driven on a track before you'd know that under hard braking your body is pushed forward and pushing the shifter to downshift is much easier. Same when you're in full acceleration your body is pushed back in the seat so pulling the shifter to upshift is much more natural. Every race car with a sequential shifter works this way.
They changed this with the e90 models, I had an e46 that I took to the dealership and they gave me a loaner e90 and didn't tell me it was different shift pattern... I downshifted in traffic and almost rammed the car in front of me lol
hard to believe since when you downshift your foot is on the brake or off the gas anyway.
Techs like that bmw dude are worth their weight in gold. Too bad the dealerships rarely compensate them appropriately
m00nraker4545 well he DOES daily an E60 M5 though...
Some of those mechanics average $35+ per labor hour.
I agree with you. I worked at a privately owned VW restoration place in New Orleans and I learned a lot working on the same models and years. The dealerships that train consistently to a proficient and diligent mechanic can create some knowledgeable techs. We knew about the older model fine points and the techs at the dealerships were schooled in the brand new stuff.
Indeed, cars have gotten massively more complex, you need way more tools to work on them, and rates (to the mechanic) are unchanged.
That is one of the biggest fails today, probably the car is good, but dealerships are crap... and well the results is obvious
“Do you need to take my college money again”, she knows her dad and his car. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It still blows my mind that when people start these expensive fancy engines, they instantly proceed to rev the shit out of them, when all the oil and other fluids are still cold.
most people have no idea about oil temps and shit
He seems the type to just want to "Fast and Furious" every damn time he drives, and is shocked when the car destorys itself
He was on open road so im pretty sure it was warm. Bmw cars show on the rpm gauge how much you can rev your engine depending on the temp
@@dussemccussay3995 Well then it's an even bigger surprise why BMW's end up in the repair shop with crank main bearing wear and failures. Maybe that feature isn't working quite as well as it should?
@@JackPecker911 yea the car might be smart but the drivers, cant speak too much for them 😂
Actually, forward being downshift and back as upshift is pretty much the way it normally works.
yeah i was just about to say isnt that how it should be? pull towards you to upshift and push away to downshit
race transmissions have it this way as well, so forward being upshift and backwards being downshift is wrong
My mom has an Hyundai ix30 and it’s up for up shift and down for down shift, it just feels so wrong.
@@SympathyRS
References to race cars are not really relevant for a car so fragile only an idiot would use it on a race track! 🙄
Joakim Quensel it was designed for performance, the technology didn’t really age that well though
Push forward to downshift and back to upshift is the way it should be- you're going with the G forces instead of fighting them.
9:59 every new bmw owner back in the 2000s
Martin Schefer lmao
That sound is the clock chime, it sounds when the clock reaches a full hour like say from 8:59 to 9:00. I believe you can turn it off in the radio settings.
@@cominator it might be the info chime that m-mode is going off to normal ride mode
@@StratoArticA could be but my non-m 330ci makes the same sound and doesn't have m-mode..
@@cominator is it built in chime with bmw? Where i live (finland) the radio station makes chime only if its on
Always M mode and you really gotta flash it to the EURO SMG version.
Just like m6 have it on sport smg likes it more same with the smg on E46 m3 :) well atleast here i sweden :D
@@ReviveAndDrive-mk1 in the USA they have their own version of SMG software. Which is max 1500 rpm launch control and rougher shifts. The Euro version improves shifting and does 4k rpm launch control. It really improves the overall feel of it imo. Not sure about the E46, but just flashing to the different software version helps alot.
@@driftfn-l8b wow thats sucks that they did that. I hope everyone update there systems so they can really have fun :D
@@ReviveAndDrive-mk1 I agree. Even stock when you are in M mode at 6th shift level... it should still snap your neck. Think hoovies m5 is about to blow the SMG pump.
M6 here UPDATE YOUR SMG SOFTWARE TO EURO
It's normal for sequential gearboxes to move the shifter down to upshift. I know from rallying.
Or from any sequential gearbox ever, really.
@@343_GuiltySpark True. I just wanted to bring up a common example.
And thats how it should be. Because when you need to upshift, you are accelerating, being pushed back, so it is logical to go with the flow of movement and pull on the shifter to upshift, trying to fight the acceleration to upshift makes absolutely no sense and makes the car harder to control. And vice versa, if you are downshifting, you are probably decelerating, so you are thrown forwards.
Thank you for taking the time to type that all into your response. My thoughts exactly and you explained it well.
@Tom Yeah, don't make me start on how much I downshift instead of upshifting when I get to drive those cars(thankfully, I have a manual in my car) because it just feels wrong.
As a 4 year E60 M5 owner... Uff.
This car should've gone to a specialist in the first place. Swapping the entire transmission out and throwing parts at the car without even scanning it using ISTA is just asking for more trouble.
All of the complaints about the SMG are valid if old, and anyone who drives one more than a week will get the hang of the gearbox. It's still a weak point, but to say it makes it undrivable is dramatic.
$5k for bearings and vanos refurb is about $2k high, and you're still having it done by someone who admittedly doesn't know the car very well. As great as the wizard is, these things are so friggin finicky, I don't think I'd have him tearing into the bottom end.
Hoovie cannot be convinced that anyone other-than Wizard can/should work on his cars. Funny, the only one that runs right is the McLaren (which requires dealership service for any warranty work).
@@MichaelJames-lz7ni he seems to be a pretty good general mechanic honestly, but specialists do exist for a reason.
Do you really think he would have spent less money if he'd let a BMW specialist do all the work?
@@joakimquensel597 Without having my hands on the car I can give you a 100% confident "maybe?"
A lot of the SMG problems are now being traced to frayed wires and worn out $14 relays. The first summer I had my car it started having trans issues, the first diagnosis I got from my usual mechanic was that it needed a clutch, p plate, flywheel and related hardware, some $4,500 all in. Took it for a 2nd opinion and it was just the slave cylinder. (still a $1500 job at shop rates because you have to drop the gearbox and bellhousing)
More importantly, the car would've been fixed properly. No bent tooth on the flywheel, and no used totally unknown transmission and related bits.
i agree...i have an 05' maserati QP with duoselect and once you learn to blip the throttle correctly the gearbox becomes a lot less of an issue
Shifting does make sense since when you are accelerating inertia pulls you back, and when you brake it pulls you forward.
Priča gluposti Hoovie
Came here to say this lol, almost every sequential transmission works like that
It makes perfect sense, but all VW cars have it reversed. Cant understand why.
The beeping noise you heard is the "clock memo". It makes the beep every hour (ex. 11:00 am then 12:00pm). You can turn it off in the settings.
Why?
@@myeclecticself why not?
Got em!

@@xavierramirez330 i like it too! Nice little reminder
9:55 for anyone wondering about the peeping. It‘s a dumb setting that makes the car alert you every full hour.
i have been wondering this for actual months
Thats to remind u to turn the radio on for news.
Mine '89 E32 does that (u can turn it off)
It beeps a few seconds before full hour so u have time to switch to desired radio station to listen to the news.
This happens in my car and I never knew why, wow that's such a relief.
"The worst transmission I have ever encountered" Try a first generation Smart ForTwo.
Also, pulling back on the gear lever to change up is correct.
Or the Ford Powershift in the Focus and Fiesta
it's correct in automatics built for girls, kid.
don't drive your mom's lexus.
"Also, pulling back on the gear lever to change up is correct." Couldn't agree more!
At least with some, you could just flip the wires on the controls and have it back like normal.
It makes much more sence to pull back the gear stick if you wanna change up. The g-force while accelerating makes it more comfortable to flick it back and the g-force while breaking throws your body forward just like you will throw the gear stick forward to down shift. It is the ultimate setup.

Were you seriously trying to do a brake torque with a single clutch gearbox Hoovie?? 🤔🤦🏻♂️😂
jameswillard1 You can't do it with a dual clutch either. It's a torque converter thing. I am amazed at the number of YT channel car reviewers that have no clue about this. Even Savagegeese who comes across as a technical guy did it.
Literally! I just can't stand people who don't care about a car brand and buy it just to make it look bad. Thats a good example here the previous owner was clearly not BMW guy and didn't take well care of the car, and now hoovie bought it without knowing a danm about it, and now he is talking butter about. I'm not a amg guy I stay away from it I don't critic all I know all cars have problems....
Cassette Walkman yeah, Hoovie is always boasting about what an idiot he is and now I’m starting to believe he really is to literally have no idea of what was going on with the mechanics of the car and how this would never work as the automated clutch of a sequential gearbox doesn’t fully disengage until the wheels are fully moving. So basically unless he was just trying to destroy the clutch I’m not sure what he was hoping was going to happen. It’s literally no different than if he went to a steep incline and then proceeded to hold the car with a light throttle before the clutch disengagement point. This has always been the Achilles heel of these transmissions and I have literally witnessed transport drivers ruin clutches on sequential gearbox cars by loading them on steep carries and creeping up slowly to the point that the clutch lining basically starts melting 🤦🏻♂️

Down to upshift is 100% correct. You'll generally upshift more, and pulling down is more of a natural motion.
Next video:
My cheap M5 broke again
@Beardio I was being sarcastic
You did not have to replace all 10 coils at 100k miles. People also think they have to replace brake sensors when they replace the pads.
Driving in M-mode will not burn up the clutch if the clutch is not slipping.
Actually you DO have to replace the brake sensor when replacing pads, even if it hasn't touched the rotor! Why? The BMW computer measured the resistance of that wire and identified it. If you do a brake reset and don't change the resistance (install new wire), the computer will soon revert back to "pads due soon". There is a trick though, if you were adamant about not switching wire - you can cut it shorter or lengthen it, anything to change the resistance value and get the computer to recognize it as a new wire.
@@aussie2uGA Whoever told you that, lied to you. It's not even a sensor. It's just a single wire that grounds when the pads wear down. You would know this if you ever worked on a BMW. Don't try and say you have done a brake job. Upload a video.
Pulling back for the upshift is actually the correct setup. makes more sense because as you accelerate the G forces are pulling you back and vice versa. That's the way racing sequentials are setup.
The direction the shifter works is NOT backwards! That is the proper way. Pull towards you to shift up, and forward to downshift. Look at any race/rally car with a stick operated sequential transmission.
he is just not a true driver
I own 2 e60 M5 both 2008 no issues put 30k miles on both drive them super hard too. Love them
@Will Pwr 2 destroy the gr8test BS in History that's awesome, good to know. I love E60 drove F10 It was nice but e60 the sound, gear changes just sets it apart
I have a 2008 BMW e60 M5. Best car I have ever bought. Just general maintenance. I did it all by myself. Rod bearings every 100k km. Regular service such as oil service. Nothing major or minor. Best reliable car I have ever purchased.
That is the most masochistic BMW to own ever! It's also the coolest! Enjoy it Hoovie!
he's selling it tho
Love your channel, but you are way over the top on the negative comments on the E60 M5. I have the M6, and it’s awesome. There is the potential rod bearing issue which can be sorted for 2k. There’s nothing wrong with the SMG III transmission when compared to the same era Ferrari F1 and Lambo E-gear. Yes it doesn’t compare well to new cars, but your description is hyperbolically negative. I’ve had mine for six years and have had zero mechanical issues.
With dual-clutch/SMG transmissions, we’ve been told the clutches wear out slower in the most aggressive mode, with the roughest and quickest shifts. This is because there’s little to no clutch slippage, as compared to normal mode where they have to be slipped to make gear changes smoother.
Try a Maserati quatraporte
.it's transmission is probably worse
Thomas Knight i had the 2009 QP S and the shifts were acceptable. After installing the Formula Dynamics EMS chip, the shifts were very quick especially in sport mode.
Thomas Knight Maserati engineers were on holiday in Australia and rented a Ford Falcon with the 6 speed ZF automatic transmission. They were so impressed with how it drove they made the transmission an option in later models.
Maserati is a horrible car !!!
Phillip Leeds Is this actually true ? 😂
Jelmerize Yes, it is. Local motoring press reported it at the time. We had those Falcons on our work fleet and they drove beautifully.
Thank you for showing us all why buying a used BMW is a terrible idea
Just this model has alot of problems,it is a sedan with an f1 engine afterall
I,bought a used 3 year old great condition cpo 3 series convertible. Bmw paid over $10k in repairs lol. Still love it though.
or a new one
@@myaccount__7269 bullshit, you cant have a bmw so you want to say bad things about the brand to say that all the models have problems, no; for what the bmw's cars give you are the most reliable (i own an bmw m5 competition and my brother has a 335i e92 that never had any problems at all)
@@Chpspsa ..but used BMW's are dirt cheap...it's not that hard get into a BMW if you REALLY want one.
9:20 finally a car that has a proper way of shifting and he is compaining 🤣 the reason for that is when you are heavily breaking, it is easier for you to downshift in the forward direction
Please keep this car, it is so beautiful and especially in this colour!
The low bidder on your garage floor gave you exactly the job you paid him for. Gotta love the standing water flowing back towards...a wall.
Still not to late to correct that, does the Car Wizard work in cement?
I hope the wind was pushing the water back.. Looks like a lake in there!
Pretty sure the concrete was there before the roof was there.. so that's rainwater accumulation. I would've installed a floor drain so I could wash my cars in there...
This channel reminds me of "An Idiot Abroad" without Ricky Gervais or the scenery ...
The pull for change up and push for down makes perfect sense - think about which direction you are pushed/pulled under acceleration/deceleration - keep pulling back to change as you're pushed back to go faster, keep pushing forward to change down as you're pushed forward in the seat. Same in any rally/touring car.
Shifting manually with the lever is backward because of formula one, that how the shifter works in those cars. Its like that in all BMW's
Yes. Because it's much more natural/fluent that way.
Last time I was this early, Hoovie promised not to buy any new cars!!!!
The shifter is correct. When braking your body weight goes forward so it’s natural to push the shifter forward to downshift. (It’s going in the same direction your whole body it going). It’s the other way around when accelerating, your body moving backwards... really it makes sense!
Quick, don't touch it and sell it immediately! Maybe Tavarish needs a reliable car?
I just love the looks of the m5 and those wheels are prefect
Hi, I had an M3 E46 with SMG2 and I totally understand why people hate it. But I love it.
First of all, shifting stick direction is right. You may be used to other direction, but is so more natural to shift down pushing.
About shifting speed, it is unfortunately mostly related to rpms. Try to manually change at the rev limit, and you will get a fast kick you will love.
This told, I can understand the thrill. I also got a problem where bmw want me to put 2000€, while I solved with an 8€ relay.
Dealing with cars so much youd think Hoovie would know a bit more. The shifter's +/- are in correct order, as youre accelerating youre supposed to pull and as youre deccelerating youre supposed to push as the g forces push you forward. If you ever listen to any race driver they always complain when cars do not have it in that order. The pedals are not even a little "brittle" and cheap, its the sh1tty cheapest m5 that you bought with already ruined pedals and you treating it with the finesse of a sausage fingered woodsman that is to blame.
Also the SMG is only slow today and even today its far from painfully slow. Why the F do you need instantaneous shifting in traffic 99% of the time? Also lift a bit of the gas when shifting and its smooth as silk. Funny how with italian cars little things like that we call character yet here complain. For me it made it interesting and once I learned it, I connected with the car, I loved it and controled the car like it was an extension of me.
Not to mention when you floor it(above 3500 or 4k I forgot), the shift times shorten to one third or less if you set it to max. And not being able to do burnout and overheating the clutch has nothing to do with the car but everything to do with incompetence of the driver....
Thanks for writing this so I didn’t have to!
Oof
@@Drgoldthumb exactly what I wanted to say, he saved us a lot of typing
Some true words. Rather harsh but true
Bûcheron aux doigts de saucisse.
"What's it beeping for?". That might be an ECU warning, generated by the suspicious lack of actual ECU warnings. You've broken the ECU by fixing all the factory problems.
Time change..1 min to new hour...my E34 does the same.
Tomas Cage correct! You can disable it in the idrive
The beeping at 10:00 is the hourly reminder. I have it on mine. It beeps every hour and you can turn it off in the idrive time and date settings.
The beeping is the clock memo. Every time your clock reaches an hr o'clock it beeps. Lets say its 10:00pm, it will beep. Same thing as 12,12 1, etc. Go to ur idrive settings and UNselect memo
It does that to remind u to swtich the radio on so u can listen to the news
well done for rescuing the M5 shame you can't keep it long term I think these things will be worth a fortune in the future
Buzz Killington yes it will be worth a fortune cookie
I think you are right cuz this is the best sounding bmw ever made v12 500 hp what more do you want its perfect has its flavs but kust because there wont be so many of them it will go up in price. In europe these cars cost upwards to 50k euros thats like 70k dollars
@@locasenior8229 its a v10
CocoPlayer it’s a v10. And no it’s not 70k dollars in Europe. If it’s a manual with low miles, maybe around 40k dollars. Maybe a bit more in some euro countries depending on tax laws.
@@Grinko18 in my country 50 thousand euros
The way the shifter works is just the right way. Porsche had it the other way around for a long time but for the 991.1 GT3 changed it to pull for a higher gear, push for a lower gear. That's how race cars have it, too. It's just more intuitive that way.
Old F1 cars had their sequential shifters the same as your car. It's totally normal, most people complain when the shifter is the other way round like in VW's and Audi's
I would kill the man who thought the other way around is what there should be in cars. It makes automatics so harder to control when having to fight the inertia!
Did BMW build this car just to be scrapped after 50K miles?
They built it for after a 10k service bill after the warranty expired
Your Mums HITACHI
Lol
@J K exactly!!! Lol !!! Don't buy a BMW !
Irony is people with means lease and get rid of these things. Dumb folks who can barely afford their rent end up picking it up and DIY to barely keep it on the road. Oh well. Hoovies can at least afford it. Plenty of youtubers who own mercs and other cars that they're struggling to keep on the road. Can't fix stupid.
Yes, BMWs are made very, very cheaply. No parts on them are made to last.
A couple of things: moving the shifter up to shift down gear makes sense because when you are on hard breaking the G forces pushes you forward. Same thing for shifting gears up on hard acceleration. Second, to do a burnout you turn traction control off and floor it, it will rev to redline and drop the couch hard for you and then you get on the brakes. That's about a fraction of a second there.
It looks really good! Love the sound of a roaring v10 😈
