talking with the guys at ssp performance at bimmerfest, you'll have to do a calibration procedure because the car will act funky with the fluid having a different consistency with the dual clutches.

No you won't. All of the aftermarket fluids are basically identical to the factory Pentosin stuff (viscosity is within a few %, as I mentioned above). The transmission and computer won't know the difference.The M-DCT is also self-adjusting and doesn't need to be recalibrated all of the time like the older SMGs did.
