I have not yet run into an OEM clutch that cannot handle a lot of engine mods: cam, rockers, headers, etc. There are a lot of perfectly happy Mustangs and F-bodys running around with blowers and stock clutches.
BMWs are nicely put together, but there is not anything about them stock that makes them particularly track worthy.

Yes, not a lot of tq compared to a turbo, but still an increase of 100ftlbs to the wheels. That is a lot over the original output for a stock clutch to handle.
Like I said, my APR tune+ full intake which nets about a 65lbs tq increase to the wheels on the CC had it slipping quite badly.
