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
 ) 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.

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.

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.  , the slur comes back after some pussy footing.thx in advance.
