Clutch disc is much more expensive to replace, BTW. You won't notice if you buy new every other year, of course.



Going on year 15 with a good clutch on a low-end bmw here. Dunno if luck or not, but not a lot of clutch complaints on bmw forums.

Their automatics on the other hand…


the biggest opportunity for clutch wear is starting. If you can be easy on the clutch during start, and rev match very well the rest of the shifts, and shift infrequently, (highway miles) they can last a long time. How many miles in 15 years?
