Complete Hydraulic Unit BMW E46 M3 SMG II
The refurbishment of the SMG II hydraulic pump includes intensive cleaning to remove old hydraulic oil as well as the installation of the following new parts:
- New hydraulic pump electric motor (sold here separately)
- New temperature sensor (sold here separately)

Temperature Sensor BMW E46 M3 SMG II
The temperature sensor is located on the hydraulic unit of the M3 SMG II and measures the temperature of the hydraulic fluid. Due to its location in a high temperature area, the sensors suffers often from damage and is a common problem.

Wiring Pin Release Tool BMW E46 M3 SMG II
Our pin extraction tool is essential for the replacement of the E46 M3 BMW SMG II pump motor. Designed specifically for safely extracting the motor’s pin contacts from the round connector, this tool ensures a precise and damage-free removal process. It is ideal for workshops and mechanics conducting routine maintenance on E46 M3 SMG II systems.

Control Unit M3 SMG II
The transmission control unit (ECU / TCU) is the main computer responsible for the control of the M3 SMG II.

Hydraulic Unit Pump Motor BMW E46 M3 SMG II
The pump supplies the hydraulic pressure for the different consumers (actuators) of the SMG and stores it in the pressure accumulator. The pump consists of a gear pump and the powering electric motor. Due to its location in a high temperature area, the motor suffers often from damage and is a common problem. Especially on hot days the car can drop out of gear or show the gearbox warning light (SMG cog light). Often the following codes appear in the error memory:
- 56 (0x38) Switching-on time of hydraulic unit
- 53 (0x35) low level of pressure reached HE
- 57 (0x39) Misuse of hydraulic unit
- 55 (0x37) Switching-on frequency of hydraulic unit
No worry – here is a solution for these problems!
We provide a new motor for the pump as a solution for various problems with the BMW M3 SMG II. The motor meets highest expectations of quality and enables a sporty style of driving with frequent shifting. Of course, the motor comes with a 12 month warranty.
The old motor can be replaced by the new one “plug&play“. The replacement motor is already equipped with the required pins and can be directly connected to the original wiring harness. For removing the old motor, you may need a release tool.

Intake Manifold Clamps BMW E46 M3 SMG II
This set contains 6 clamps for the intake manifold of the S54 engine. To access the SMG hydraulic unit, the intake manifold must be removed. Unlike the original clamps, the parts we offer are made of a more resistant material and are reusable.

Pressure Accumulator BMW E46 M3 SMG II
Our refurbished pressure accumulators are equipped with a filling valve and freshly filled with nitrogen gas.
The accumulator is responsible to store the pressure of the SMG system for later access by the actuators. The piston type accumulator has two cells: one cell storing the hydraulic fluid and one cell containing a gas to create counterpressure. Both cells are separated by a moving piston. A broken accumulator causes the pump to prime permanently.
Important: You will need to pay a core charge (deposit) of 300,00€ which will be refunded when you return your used part. You can learn more here. This is a repair service (no purchase of a product). Our terms and conditions and the right of withdrawal for the order of services apply.

Pump Reservoir Seal BMW E46 M3 SMG II
New seal for the hydraulic pump plastic reservoir. The seal meets the requirements for use in the SMG hydraulic system.
