i bought a bmw E60 m5(2005).
On 38000km as i used lounge control of the smg at once, i felt a strange smelling from the clutch. After a few days the smelling stopped.
After some days, as i was driving on a hill with low speed, i felt again this bad smelling.I would like to answer me if the clutch must be replaced
or the car will inform me with a little light?

No light AFAIK.

If it smelled like a smelly gym sock, it's the clutch slipping. If it did it for a few days, the clutch disc is probably worn and need replacing.:thumbdwn:
