Hi members!

My 545i SMG has 60k kilometers and I did 30 or so acceleration assist starts: when my clutch will need t be replaced?

And when it will finish, do we have a light? An error? And when, just when it is off or some time BEFORE? In short, do I risk to remain on foot?


Thanks!

Ok, but is there someone who replaced the clutch?
SMG & manual.
Pls specify the mileage.
