M3 wouldn't stay in gear, flashing gear number, change the relay problem solved ! all E46 models * disconnect battery before any work done to the car**
Did mine today, big scare. Thank God it was just the relay and not the SMG pump! It took a while to take effect too. I had to restart the car a couple of times, and just as I gave up, I turned off the car, and put it on gear, and boom! It showed "1" instead of "0" on the panel.

when i drove down the highway at 50 mph my e46 m3 SMG shifted from 5th gear to neutral, think this might be the problem?

Abdullah Remaj it’s the salmon relay I’m 100% sure that’s ur problem I had the same issue and then when I stoped at a red light it would go to neutral on its own ... it’s only 20$ max 30$ u can find it on partsgeek.com it’s under “air pump relay “
