Clutch slur/slurry?

[RichW]

To clear this up :

"After changing a tyre or wheel and after fitting or removing snow chains, the slip monitoring feature of the SMG Drivelogic must be allowed to to adjust to the modified status.

Initialise the system again:

1. On a straight road, driving at a speed of more than 30 km.h (20mph), move the selector lever tot the neutral position N
2. Pull both shift paddles for approx. 2 seconds.

If you do not perform the initialising routine, the system will graduallly learn the modified status automatically, as you drive. You will notice this by the clutch being breifly disengaged and engaged"


So it is a reset, although not as we know it :-D

Is there any benefit whatsoever in doing this IF you have NOT fitted snowchains or changed a wheel???

Nope

Although there's plenty who've claimed they can detect a huge improvement, but that's just Jedi mind tricks :bigcry:

When i did this i didnt put the car in neutral - it was in S5 and i was doing a steady 50mph, pulled both paddles in for about 5 secs and the car sort of hesitated very slightly. To be honest car felt a little more sluggish on the changes - but im hoping that was my imagination!!

You do have to be in neutral so you won't have done anything .. other than change gear up or down or not at all depending on your timing when pulling both paddles :-D

If you're unsure the procedure is in the M3 handbook in the 'changing tyres' section :thumbs:

Well if this doesnt have any benefit other than when changing tyres or chains then dont think i will bother!!!
