Hi folks,
I recently got my first ever 6MT M car - G82 M4. How long did your last generation M3/M4 clutch last? I just want to have an idea about when to replace the clutch. Side note: I had a WRX STI in the past but it only lasted 8,000 miles with a brand new OEM clutch (yes I drove aggressively). Thanks.

The clutches used in M cars last forever. Our E46 had 180k miles, many of those double-use at the track, and was still on the original clutch.
In the E9X and F8X gen the 6MTs with the stock clutch hold up to around 650ftlb, so quite a bit. |

In my F82, I bought the service plan that replaces brakes and the clutch if they're worn within 3 years/36k miles (if I remember correctly). I'm a couple years past that and haven't come close to needing the clutch replaced.

Agreed with others. If your STI clutch only lasted 8k it's likely improper usage and likely you'll see premature clutch wear in any car. Driven properly, even an aggressively driven car should last 60k plus. Only caveat is if you are launching hard on sticky tires you will see premature failure even if proper launching.

But overall, it was solid for 22,000+ miles in a few months. ![]()
