Mind you, I had a double-disc clutch in my '99 M Coupe with a super lightweight fly, so I may have more tolerance than most.... Neil |

I I replace my un 28k still under my warranty and now I have my stage 2+ stell flywheel and I love it QUOTE=NihonX;14721910]My clutch didn't start slipping until around 48,000 miles (No typo there). Also, I was fully modded putting down around 435whp (450+wtq) for about 40,000 of those miles.
Once I started slipping I went back to stock and the clutch was able to catch without problems. I am way past my warranty. [/QUOTE] |

I can relate to original poster as if it was my own feedback.
I am at 21K and am just not feeling the power at WOT. After some hard driving or stop and go traffic I definitely can feel slipping in 1st gear especially. Driving the car daily for 3 years I am very in tune with it. I am stock 100% mechanically and did so to try and avoid this sort of thing. It's not yet to the point that the tach noticeably shows a mismatch between engine and trans but it certainly feels that way from my experience. I cannot get slip at high load low RPM 6th gear which is my traditional test for life. I do drive my car hard, mostly city. Am on my 3rd set of PSS if that's any indication. But I have had a daily driven manual car since 2006 continuously and am always matching my revs up and down and babying the clutch it 1st. Have all of about 3 launches, sub 4k RPM over these years. I am starting to think that an oil leak is the more likely culprit. I just do not see my clutch not having life this quickly. I know we have a lot of torque but this is over the top wear. I wonder how many claims we can put together. I work at a BMW dealer and there is even a technician here who has a 1M himself. Maybe we can just and get a case opened so that it is a known issue?

When I was referring to first gear I meant mostly at the point of engagement from a complete stop. Don't think it's wheel spin but I do normally drive with DSC off FWIW. |
