My Ride: 2004 545i carbon black / dakota black / sport package / 19' beyern wheels - 285 rear with 15mm offset
Hello everyone!
I got a 04 545i with 33k. Brought it to my dealer on tuesday to replace throwout bearing. My advisor called me back yesterday morning telling me that they will change my flywheel and clutch assembly as well all under warranty. I was reallly excited and picked up the car today but noticed big diffrence. The clutch pedal was so light as almost nothing was connected to it. When I floor the pedal it feels like the engine revs up a little faster then the car is going altough it doesnt feel like its slipping. My pedal was firm before and I loved it. Now it feels like some 4 cyl japanese car. Anyone have any idea on what could it be or maybe thats the way new clutch supossed to work and I just got to get use to it? Any help or advice would be apreciated.

Yes, a new clutch assembly and throwout bearing will make it easier to depress the clutch pedal. When the throwout bearing is worn, the effort needed to depress the clutch pedal increases. I had mine replaced at ~20,000 miles after I took the car in one day asking them to check why the clutch was squeaking and was tougher to depress. Disappointing, but thank goodness for the warranty. And yes, it's supposed to have that "Japanese 4-cylinder" feel. My 92 Accord's clutch feels pretty much the same as my 550's. (And after 280,000 miles, the throwout bearing in my Accord is still going strong).
