They should have to dye test all the m8's and then they might know some transfer and some don't.Glad yours passed the test.

Both my tires were below 30psi, trans oil was below the dipstick, and rear shock was set to zero.

You paid somewhere around 650 for that great dealer prep. Gota love it. I test road a sg and the shock was at zero. Road like a lumber wagon. Haha

For me, it works. Tested on 250 mi (0 to 4000tr/min). the dealer drained the transmission and the volume of oil remained the same.

No official "fix" as of yet. There will be. Stay tuned....
