SMG Recalibration done today
 

After 2 months ownership I finally conceded to the fact that my clutch slur wasn't going away despite my spirited driving / not lifting off on up/ downchanges paddle reset etc etc, And an SMG recalib was my only option, I was a touch worried that my indy didn't have the software to complete this and I was gonna have to use a main dealer (shock horror), However I needn't have worried as Bluebell Wilmslow were up to the job despite a 45 min job taking 3+ hours, Mainly down to Jimmy being very thorough, top bloke.. that also included an SMG update as my car was running old software (2 behind latest version :smt118 ) Well the car feels like a different car.. The changes are now instant without any slur.. I was beginning to think maybe this SMG aint all its cracked up to be but not anymore, Cost £100 inc vat all in inc software update, Certainly cheaper than new clutch and flywheel as that was my next option.

Result ! :thumbs:
Maybe you could link your SMG experience to educate all of the misguided SMG/CSL haters on PH :whistle:

Ha ha, Its too big a job.. I could be dead before I got through to some of the numpty non believers lol... M3 Cutters I wouldn't even bother trying.

I hear you matey :smt045 ... Cutter is just a "lost cause" :whistle:

there is an smg software update? how do i get that?

From a BMW main dealer unfortunately... Mind you its only a fairly cheap job.. Also get the SMG recalibration done as well (it resets the clutch biting point amongst many other things and is well worth getting done) £100 well spent imo.:thumbs:

Nice one mate,well done.:thumbs:

They love csl's there in my experience

congratulations!!!

do you think you can report back how it is after say 1 month of regular driving so that we can see if the calibration route is the way to go for slur?

Reason I say that is whenever I disconnect my battery for a day and reconnect, the SMG is wicked sharp, but as I don't drive like a crazy person all the time. :hahaha:, the slur comes back after some pussy footing.

thx in advance. :thumbs:

Will keep you updated guys on how it behaves in the next few weeks.

In my experience if you leave it slurring too long, you will need a new clutch.

Here is hoping.
