FWIW, I'm now running a Spec Stage 2+ clutch with a Spec steel single mass flywheel.

Very happy with the set-up.

Either your driving style is an issue or a defective clutch, there is no way a clutch should go that soon! Take it into the dealer and see what they say, I wouldn't be shelling out for a new clutch myself unless I knew it was due to my driving and if that's the case I'd fix my driving.

I would expect my clutch to last AT LEAST 80,000 KM, even given a track day a month (tracking really isn't that hard on our clutches since really you can just keep it in 3rd LOL)

Don't forget some 1M's had a bad rear crankshaft seal. They would either leak oil onto the clutch or... quite a few 135i's(as well) have had that cricket type noise when the revs fall from say 2.5K rpms back to idle... Do you hear that cricket sound. BMW's fix was a new rear main seal. Perhaps that is why some leak ? Bad batch of rear main seals???

Yea... I think I would see if your dealer will give you a new clutch under warranty.

Btw... my engine tuner told me that the standard clutch can only handle up too 450Nm. My car(135i) puts out 520Nm. The 1M puts out 450 + 50Nm overboost. I was told 30K kms with a tune is about the life of the clutch. I really do not shift very hard... and I have put about 45K kms on my clutch with a SW tune.

SO... its possible this is also a side effect of your tune. Actually that is more probable IF your rear crankshaft seal isn't leaking. Maybe look under your car for any oil leaks.

I agree with the comments that something's wrong, if possible an oem clutch through warranty is the way to go, with the jb4(don't know where the current jb4 came from lol) some other power mods, the main being race gas at times and e85 all the time so running 17-19psi, I've had zero slippage ever and the power should be similar,+ or - a few, to yours, the oem clutch can take more power for a long time. See if you can get one under warranty.

Don't forget, your mods could void your warranty.
