I can also tell that you run your car pretty hard judging by your cool (I love watching the vids

race threads, not that the car should not be able to take it but everything will break if it is used at maximum performance a majority of the time. Everything has a breaking point. Which is why race cars (all types) are built to run a race or a few races at a maximum before their engines or trannys are rebuilt, because of all of the abuse they take.

Well... I won't argue on this point because I'm not an expert on SMG. But I can tell you one thing, I ran my E39 twice as hard and had my clutch replaced at 40k miles. My E60 has only 19k miles on it and poooof! The clutch and flywheel went! Which only brings me to one conclusion.... my left foot did a better job than any SMG ever will!
