clutch longevity?

carzaddict · 02-10-2023, 04:00 PM

going to take a look a a 2016 435xi tomorrow, 6MT with 60k miles.
wondering what a realistic longevity for the clutch is, assuming its been driven decently

100k easy

It will slip sooner if its been tuned. In fact any stage 2/2+ ethanol OTS map will usually make the OEM clutch slip immediately if it has any miles on it.

Another thing to look for on 6MT is the 1-2 gear grind when shifting fast/high RPM.

All depends on how driven.

I have 160k and it's doing fine. Some slight shuddering here and there coming off first.
