I drove for about 1000miles with lt 2 and then had to get the clutch changed, separate issue. I asked what oil the car was topped up with, they told me lt5 so I cornered them with bmw bulletin stating it should be lt 5, they argued that it wasn't so I drove away and done another 500 miles with same notchy Ness then out of nowhere bmw admitted they were wrong and changed it to lt5...I can tell you know, what a difference, it's like I have a new gearbox, every gear change is super slick I've done 2500miles and it's perfect.
Interesting.

I thought each time a new version came out LT2, then 3, then 4 etc it replaced the earlier version. Why would they even still have LT2?

Are they not using LT6 now?
