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

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

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??
