I have an 04 M3 with SMG.

Common knowledge is that the SMG is gonna be an expen$ive SOB to get work done on. The fact that it is brand new system also makes your nightmares more intense.

Any new systems on the new 997, 997s that could be the same kinda drama?

That's why I want to avoid psam, lsd etc. Am tending toward the "plain Jane " Carerra, etc.
