Default Clutch slipping at WOT

I have a 08 E61 wagon. 56K miles. In the last week or so I've noticed the clutch is slipping during WOT in all gears. When the accelerator is pressed firmly the revs drop for a moment then the car pulls. Car also seems sluggish at low speed.

I took ownership at around 50K, so I don't have a lot of info on how it was treated but doesn't this seem early for a clutch to go?

How much does a clutch/flywheel replacement this cost?
