SMG dash display

[olly22n]

I have noticed some CSL's have 'N' for neutral, mine has '0'.

Why is this?

I believe early CSLs have the '0' and the later CSLs have the 'N'.
The second pic shows Dan's dash display which is the same as mine and I believe our cars are only a couple of digits apart on the chassis number :thumbs:

The second is my Dash as Matt knows, our cars are actually very close together, both quite early cars :)

Its the smg software if I'm correct
N latest 0 older.

Simpsons map the older software in as it's better gearchange etc

I'm sure the softer n software is a damage limitation thing by BMW

I think the 'N/0' read out remains regardless of software upgrades mate. I'm pretty sure Dazza had an update at some point during his ownership prior to selling her on to you but i always remember his car reading '0' as an early build car.

Correct, don't think the earlier dashes even have the diagonal elements needed to make an N.

My car says 0 and it had a new SMG ECU under warrenty a few years later to fix the slurring and remained showing 0.

Bealos was the 0 and mine is N:thumbs:

[AlexGTT]

Mine is early build with 0 as well. I've also had earlier SMG software on mine for 4 years. I noticed a significant change for the better when it was changed.

What was the difference Alex?
Is it worth asking for the upgrade / downgrade??

[DuncanR]

Do you get a downgrade for the upshift ? ..or an upgrade for the downshift ?? :smt102


Certainlay not my dash with that mileage !! ... whose is the first dash all lit up like a christmas tree at 2500 rpm ??

Speak to Ant at Simpson Motorsport. Snappier upshift and absolutely zero slur as long as you never lift at all on upshift. Full throttle upshift very quick an aggressive, which I love.

As mentioned before, it's an early version of software. We are fairly sure they pulled back the aggression on later versions and updated cars at service with those versions in an effort to stem warranty issues with clutch problems. Turns out there are not really any issues caused by the quick change and it's effect on wear. Most clutches never show any signs of wear at all. Problems were more to do with inadequate wear compensators and the self teach element of the clutch system promoting slur when people lifted of to smooth out gearchanges.

DSC off with S6 is awesome! :smt055

My opinion is, it was more to do with diff and boot floor issues;)
