How many CSL owners have had SMG failures?
like the title says
how many CSL owners have had SMG failures? I wouldn't say its common for M3 owners, but I was curious if there have been a fair amount of CSL owners with SMG failures. Thanks! |

Do you mean the gearbox or the SMG specific stuff like the hydraulic control units?
As it happens I've never had an issue. |

most of the SMG issues are the hydraulic pump and other issues w/the SMG unit.
that is what I am more interested in. |

Not me anyway. Fingers crossed, touch wood and all the rest. I've heard of Hydraulic parts going, actuators etc but not actual G'Boxs.
After I got mine, the previous owner got in touch and told me the car had had a new Diff, Clutch, Flywheel, (Don't think it had had a G'Box, might dig out the PM) due to dodgy noisey experiences from 5000miles until it the final part was replaced at about 7000. Gotta love warranty eh?
