afternoon,
i have a standard e46 m3 and im having the same problems as you guys with the clutch slur, Ive been down bmw and they have quoted me £1140 for a clutch flywheel and the smg software update. My car has only covered 30,000 miles is it really going to need a new clutch? ive had it since 20,000 and it never did this till about 120 miles ago when i first used launch control? ive got a appointment with a bmw technician on monday, but hes just gunna tell me i need a new clutch as thats what hes paid toi say.lol has anyone got any ideas on what to do? |

get a new clutch
could alwasy shop around for prices before they persuade you to spend £500 investigating it and then get tied to them. before you go get 3 prices, dealers and non dealers - dont forget most of the price is labour so they can do deals

getting the clutch retaught takes about 1/2 hour and can get it feeling like new
BUT imho it does not always sort it permantly and often if for soem reason the compensator is not working correctly the clutch problem wil return. My first clutch was slipping on or off for 10k miles even though i tried to sort it with the reprogramming - but it always came back

Hi,
I was informed that 5/6 hard Launch Control Starts, would just about eat a new SMG clutch? Can anybody confirm or dispel this. As a 30,000 mile SMG clutch doing a hard launch control, is I would have thought asking for trouble. If you drive really hard, you can eat a 355 F1 clutch in about 2/3k miles and a 360 F1 clutch in about 5/6k miles. I think the 355 has a update/upgrade which improves it slightly. Thats without launch control etc. Yes, learnt the hard way. Regards, The Gorilla. |
