There was a service bulletin on reprogramming the SMGs. Not sure what it fixes but it was for every 3rd gen or whatever SMG...E46 M3, E63 6 series etc., plus before I left the dealership I saw some E60 M5s in for transmission problems. I reprogrammed at least 4-5 myself, let alone everyone else at the shop. Like I said before, I also had to replace the hydraulic clutch actuator that presses in the clutch for you. Then, reprogram that.

Considering how uncommon they are in the Sarasota area or in general, I'd say thats pretty bad.
