The two 1M that were used in the M Power Tour here in Germany during the last two months both needed multiple clutch replacements (I can vouch for at least two per car) after less than 1.000km per car.
Two clutches were killed on the Autobahn. Max. fifth gear, shift to sixth and floor the accelerator before the clutch has been completely released. 500nm take care of the rest. On one car, not only the clutch but both clutch and flywheel were torn apart. Imho clear noob mistakes that had nothing to do with the clutch layout of the 1M. My car has 6.000km on it right now and there is no feelable clutch wear.
I think the cdv is also part of the problem in the cases above, especially when people try to perform "fast" shifts. I am thinking of having my cdv removed alltogether. Imho it interferes more than I can see any pros.
