I'm 100% certain that all these premature clutch failures are down to the stability management.
It applies the brakes to stop the rear end from even slightly slipping,
thus burning the clutch out when the throttle is demanding full power.

Sorry to see BMW wouldnt cover you on this matter- personally i would of got an uprated clutch fitted by a reputable independent bmw specialist- (better quality products fitted for less)?.

Where abouts in the UK are you based?

MAybe it is the traction control maybe not but il see how this clutch goes, hopefully it will last longer than 15000miles as im only running around the same ft/lbs as you know.

Im up in Edinburgh where are you?
