[QUOTE="B33mEr, post: 448999, member: 13609"] Yes bro SMG (or previously known as SSG) cars (CKD version) are equipped with M-Sport goodies such as shadowline trim, suspension components and etc ... To maintain an SMG car there are two fluids that you need. 1) Gearbox fluid - BMW MTF2 or Redline MTL fluids 2) SMG Hydraulic fluid - Pentosin CHF-11s You will also need to do a clutch adaptation procedure aka SMG teaching which involves hooking up your car with a BMW diagnostic tools via an OBDII port. What it does is that it resets the adaptation values of the hydraulic system and adjusting the actuating pressure according to the thickness of the clutch plate. This is done every 12 months or when the car start to shifts abruptly ... Doing this procedure will result in a smoother gear change. This applies to E46 M3 SMG II as well [url]http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=307334[/url] One that concern the most is the oil seal or O-Ring on the actuator. It will generally last a few years before the oil seal breaks down. The actuator itself is robust and it is serviceable. New actuator from BMW dealership can cost around 4k which includes clutch actuator and gear selector actuator. I will post some pics on the actuator if you're interested. [/QUOTE]
