there's a lot to learning this SMG gearbox. I'll try what you suggest Alex :thumbs:
I usually use S3, but sometimes 4/5 is better. will try the technique of warming up in 1 then switching.Comment

Really useful info guys , I dont lift , and mines fine all the time , but been told (and ignored them) ! :smt047 to lift always.
Mate of mine does lift and is having issues with his so makes sense reading this ... just winding him up telling him he cant drive properly :hahaha:Comment

I've never lifted on shifts.
I'm not even sure it actually "adapts" to driving style in sequential mode, or if that's another forum myth..(?)
The regular M3 SMG doesn't start slurring like the CSL one does, even if you drive like grandma.Comment

Just stop driving like girls and give the poor thing some death! :beer:Comment

I think i put my message across wrong. I dont lift off the pedal in any setting S1 or S6 but i would never flat shift in S1-S4 as the clutch seems to then slip!Comment

It's basically just a pile of shit and should have been fixed by BMW five years ago!
Bottom line.Comment

It'll do that Simon. You need to keep it planted so the car learns you want it that way. It will slip for a bit to start with (and I know its not easy to make yourself do it) but its what needs to be done to get them nice a crisp.
After Knockhill, S1 changed sharper than S6 did with road driving :thumbs:
Ive found if Ive just had the car in and out of the garage a few times, but never driven it, it reverts back to being slippy.Comment

Always ask Elliot to say how it is! :-D
Very true!Comment

Just reread this thread, what's not clear is how do you check for clutch wear?
On the flat shift thing, the hand book says keep the throttle flat on changes....
Wrong place I know but has anyone used Jepsons - Swindon for wheel refurb?Comment
