That's fair enough then mate, are the SMG updates covered under warranty?

I know my mate is paying around £75 exc VAT for some to be done on his M3 Cab!?

Just got to hold out busting the car until the 30 day excess period has gone so 9th March is the threshold!

I think I might need the SMG Software update as I seem to be getting some clutch 'slip/slur' on occasions, either that or the clutch will be getting replaced and I'll hopefully feel the benefit straight away!

Now, how do you use launch control, I'm dying to give it a go!

Congrats

Painful bill but one worth doing. Don't do too many launch controls as BMW has a way of finding out how many you've done and may refuse Warranty work on a new clutch.

Yeah I was only kidding Matt but I will give it a go just once! lol My car has a nearly new diff in it so now has got to be the time to try!

Reprograming the smg is not coverd under warranty,according to Andy,but the warranty will ask them to try this first,cost is about 60quid.Probably a waste of 60quid

but should be worth in the long run.
