Hi Pip, sounds like you had much fun on the Nordschleife thanks for your story i always enjoy reading them


About your SMG issue:
I think it probably was the gear position sensor getting confused for whatever reason.. so it didn't let you select any gears. I wouldn't worry about it much seeing how it "fixed" itself after a reset.

If you have the tools you can read your codes and see what faults are stored. But as long as it doesn't come back i wouldn't worry about it.

If it does, it could be the infamous salmon relais or the gear position sensor at fault. Salmon Relais is cheap and quickly changed but the sensor.. not so much..

I don't think that rain caused the issue, the fuse box in the engine is covered up and normally no water can get inside it, i think it was just a coincidence.
