I am not sure we know.
Does it reduce the longevity of the transmission from 12 years to 3 years?And , if so, how big adeal is it if you crave the power and have a little $$?
A couple of simple things can be done by owners to extend life of a transmission, frequent fluid exhcanges and addton of a transmission cooler.
Of course teh M45 already has a transmission cooler, but taing fluid exchange intervals down to evcery 18 months in an SC'ed car with a stock transmission might be helpful.
Cant wait to hear the first hard data on that.
Anyone check with Level ten yet if they make that transmission fortified?
