clutch demolished 20k

Jonny550 · 10-14-2009, 02:03 PM

the car has 20k on the clock and the clutch seems to be destroyed....the car barly moves and gets into gear. My dad has been driving the car and not me for 3 months and iam guessing hes the reason for this if had this car for 7 months now and the first 4 it was all driving from me and nobody else.Do you guys think iam under warranty i have an intake and a muffler delete.

It seems like BMW does a "good will" clutch change once. Although 20k is not a lot of miles for a clutch to go.

Replace the OEM intake and hope they don't give you crap for the delete.

A clutch should not fail at 20k

it wasnt the clutch that failed, it was the driver.

OP, did you remove or modify your CDV?

mmm def · 10-14-2009, 07:27 PM

why would they cover it under warranty if it is not a defect? Your dad wore it out.

the guy in the above post said you get a goodwill replacement ( i guess that means a 1 time replacement) can anyone confirm that?

50/50 chance of that, some have gotten some have not. some even were told that if they take off the clutch and there is evidence of abuse then they wont cover it.

theoritically it should be covered under the free maintenance, but then again we are talking about people who think we should go 15k miles between oil changes.

good luck getting it replaced under warranty. They can tell if its an equipment failure or just the area between the steering wheel and the seat

Artz 330 · 10-14-2009, 09:46 PM

Maintenance Warranty will replace it 1 time under 50k. My chik drives my car, ask me how I know... LOL
