Wait that's not you because your car was delivered at night. Right? LOL

Gary learn how to manually blip with the standard software. Learn that pause in between shifts and see if you can get it. It doesn't have to be perfect because even if I want to force a thunderous revmatch I still don't get it with CSL programming every time. At low speed the programming will still revmatch a downshift but it's not as aggressive at low RPM versus anything over 3,000. So when I have my @$$hole hat on, I'll make her bark on low rpm matches manually if that's a such word with SMG.

Right. That is just a video showing the CSL SMG Software.

Ya I need more seat time to get the hang of it. It's so different than my Auto ZHP. The ZHP is so smooth and the SMG is jerky. Of course a lot of it is probably me.

Yup ZHP was auto and the M is manual but controlled by the car computer or driver (clutch). Just like driving a real manual it takes a little more work for a smooth ride.

Congrats Gary! Glad to hear she's finally in your possession.

Congrats ... Great way to end this year.

Thanks!
Woke up this morning and it was snowing! Waited until it warmed up and we all went driving around. I'm starting to get use to it. I'm definitely going to get the CSL SMG Software.

My daughter kept saying "Faster Daddy Faster!"

Nice!!!

I'm getting some TTFS SMG Software!!

Transform your Sequential Manual Gearbox with the redesigned transmission software directly onto your DME, available both for naturally aspirated and force induction E46 M3's.

• Eliminates transmission issues caused by changes in Limited Slip Differential ratio.
• Faster and more firm shifts in higher gears.
• Smoother shifts on lower gears.

You will receive our USB to OBD2 programming cable. The end user will need a Windows or Mac laptop to remote program the SMG software. The software has many more benefits to help the weekend warrior or the all around car guy. It allows you to clear DME adaptations, read and clear codes specific to your BMW, and data log your car. This is a nice perk for anyone looking to take advantage of remote tuning their car in the future, data extraction for track use, or all you data fanatics to record, replay, and compare.

$189 Shipped to lower 48 states.

I must digress from the sole point of this post to discuss how much I love his CSL SMG tune. Keep in mind that I already had the original CSL SMG tune flashed (that you can find on this forum) for my car. In my opinion, the Frank Smith CSL SMG tune significantly surpasses the performance of that tune. Shifting is completely different. Each shift is sharp and aggressive, like a racecar. Around town I stay in S4, and use S6 for racing. S5 and S6 are incredibly fast and incredibly aggressive - far too uncomfortable for driving around town, but perfect for crushing the competition in a race. S4 is perfect in every way and the downshifts sound like the voices of angels trapped in hell (it sounds really good and mean). Before Frank's CSL SMG tune I was always riding around in either S5 or S6 and I was still disappointed with the way my gearbox was shifting - I wanted more. Now, I wouldn't even want to own an SMG E46 M3 unless it had the TTFS CSL SMG tune flashed to it - I'm that serious about it. To me, it is a must!

The difference is significant. Shifting up is impossibly quick in S4 (almost DCT like). Shifting down under load is awesome. Its almost like Frank & Co have written the SMG tune that BMW should have put in place originally. Smoother, faster a massive improvement on the BMW software.

My mechanic took the car for a drive after it was done. The look on his face said it all. Complaining as he got out that I have now made him have to spend the coin on his car (he's an owner too).

Highly recommend this tune to anyone looking for the best bang-for-buck modification.
