Most manufacturers don't warranty clutches except usually in the first couple of thousand miles.

@SickGTR you had a piggyback (jb4)? Did you take it off?
I'm wondering how you were able to tell. Did you have it hooked up to any BMW scanners or w/e they use at the dealer? If it's on the car it'll show. It has to be removed. My apologies if I'm not understanding this correctly.

Also very valuable to hear the amount of torque people are running and the mileage before having issues with slipping. Thanks in advance!

So I spoke to representatives of both South Bend clutch and X Clutches at PRI today. South Bend gave me a card and told me to call their engineers when I need a clutch, saying that they would gladly put new friction surfaces on the disk and upgrade the springs in the pressure plate as a ship and return service. X stated that their s55 clutch may work with a modified flywheel. I will give their engineers a call on Monday.
[EDIT] To add, doing no lift shifts with the CDV was more than likely causing excess heat, causing the slip. I don't disagree that you were close, but I do think that deleting the CDV may have prevented it. South Bend agreed. |

Does anyone know the part number for the clutch and flywheel for G80/82?
I found this video here stating that the F8X flywheel crankshaft flange was reinforced from 3 to 4 metal plates for G80/82 Last edited by mzcp; 12-11-2021 at 01:26 PM.. |

for those curious about clutch coverage. The clutch and brakes are covered with purchase of BMW Ultimate Care maintenance. is a $700 upgrade for the first 3 years or 36k miles, and can be extended to as much as 7 years or 125k miles.
However, IF bmw will cover it with added power is a whole different story. I can assure you, BMW will check the data to see what happened. So it's a risk of being flagged for sure. |

Now if you have obvious signs of abuse it could get declined, but that would up to BMW discretion. I cant speak for markets in other countries. |

Also let's move on from getting your clutch warrantied and go to putting down power. Getting the dealership to warranty your clutch after beating the shit out of the car with an extra 100+ hp is a shitbird move. Pay to play. |

So if you think that you can avoid warranty issues by running a piggyback, you can't. Warranty work related to engine or transmission stress will be declined as they should be. Also, submitting a warranty claim on stressed part (clutch, transmission, con rods, crank, etc) for a tuned car is a complete jack @$$ move. If you can't afford to pay out of pocket when things go wrong, don't tune your car. |

If I take a used car I bought to the dealer for an oil change, they can't see if it's tuned (from my understanding for a piggyback). If there's engine failure or something expensive and then they dig into the system further like you mentioned, then they'll know. In this case a buyer could be easily mislead and out of luck so it's a tough situation. Personally, I wouldn't tune any car myself. It's not worth it but to each their own.

So you tune your car to 600HP that you probably cant handle anyhow. Then you fry your clutch and want warranty coverage for it?
IF you can afford a 80-100K car. Afford to tune it to 600HP. Then you should be able to afford an aftermarket clutch that can hold that much power. Whats the most a clutch cost these days? 2K installed? I mean really? Unreal.

I would take it to the dealership and get it replaced.
We have done quite a few F30 B58 clutch upgrades from Spec and Clutchmasters and I am sure S58 is very similar to this. I am working on something for our manual G80 so this wont be an issue when our DME is unlocked. |

Warranty claim on a prematurely worn clutch - that is not a defect - Highly unlikely.
Pretty sure clutches are maintenance items, the ultimate care website says it covers clutches (if you have ultimate care) |
