0 or N?

[cslgirl]

It's 0 on the gearstick, N on the dash.
I thought it was a general SMG update as it also took the letters SMG off the gear stick housing.

What I don't understand is why yours is different, I though all CSL's were the same. Mine is an early one also.

Has yours had a new knob? :whistle:

Cool cheers for this info. Wonder how many there are with 0 and those with N.

N came in after the September production shutdown in 2003. So all M3s pre this were 0, then after this date they were N. Same with the dash display.

We did this a couple of years back,I'll see if I can find it

N on dashboard.

I never look at a knob so no idea.

0= 86 UK spec including pre-production.
N = 344 UK spec.

Not sure about all this. Mine is pre-Sept and has N
The SMG manual (instructions) has '0'
