I had clutch & flywheel worn out at about 16k miles. The dealership charged me $4800 for replacement (standard price in Canada). They didn't investigate thoroughly why those components failed, instead they chose to gouge me even though I was their returning customer. I know how to drive manual cars and I didn't abuse my M235i, therefore I suspect a factory defect (of course they ignored all my arguments and driving history as well). Needless to say I am not buying another BMW (or any expensive manual-transmission car in general) because of all the pain and stress I went through. And I live in fear that my current clutch will fail soon prompting another inevitable financial rape which means I can forget about dynamic driving.
