Symptoms
- Transmission fault message and gear changes that stop working
- Fault code 4F40 (SMG hydraulic unit)
- Pump groaning or running for a long time when the doors are unlocked
- Car won't start or won't select a gear
Which cars are affected
2006–2010 E60 M5 and E63/E64 M6 with the SMG III gearbox (S85 V10).
A failed pump motor or relay is often the real cause and costs far less than the complete hydraulic unit. Ask the shop to confirm the fault before replacing the whole unit, and ask whether a quote includes a clutch. Rebuilt units are also sold.
