Clutch Slur
Hi guys,bin having trouble with the old clutch slur issue since i got the CSL,being on 60k i thought the clutch may be on the way out.But after driving in S5 and giving it some welly,then in S1 for a couple of days,i went out for a blast tonight on the dry roads[for a change]and its gone,and pulling like a train.So thanks for the tips on how to sort it guys.WHEN and if the slur returnes ill get the warranty to have a look,now i know the clutch is not fooked.The previous owner said he used to lift on changes,which is a big no no in my book.

What is clutch slur? I've pretty much left it in S5 since buying the car, maybe I need to change it about a bit, sometimes the changes seems to drop the revs, and I dont think the clutch needs replacing. Well, hope not..

It's the single most irritating thing about the CSL and something they (BMW) have never addressed. It does come and go depending on driving style and I think it can also be gotten rid of by clearing the error logs down (worked on mine a few months back). When mine does it (frequently) it makes me want to get out and smash it up with a massive laser axe through the bonnet. Infuriating! Last edited by SpineOnABap; 30-01-2010 at 09:20 AM. |

Maybe I've just been lucky but I have not yet experienced clutch slur in almost 2 years of ownership. The closest I get to it are the lengthened gear changes that you get when I try 'S1' on a rare occasion.
FYI, I never lift when giving it the beans & my car was a late build which had a replacement clutch some time before I bought it.
