How Long Has Yours Lasted? (Original Clutch)

Coming up on 130K. Right as rain.

230k miles, autox, some clutch drops (though I don't do that anymore)... still going strong. Throwout bearing does occasionally make noise but a quick jab of the clutch pedal and it's relatively quiet again

And nobody who owns one of the best iterations of an E46 would ever ever ever drop the clutch or do a burnout. Cuz? that would be irresponsible.

my original ZHP sedan had 160K miles on it when i pulled the drivetrain to put in the Touring. the disc had lots of material left.

if driven correctly, a clutch should last a long, long time. with these cars, though - it's the effing DMF that is the problem. the dampers wear out/disintegrate and you get a lot of vibration... ironically. not to mention crap-feeling engagement.

DMF? All sorts of words come to mind, but nothing transmission/clutch/auto related.

Ah! Got it.

While we?re in the topic of acronyms, I had the CDV deleted pretty early on in its life. (Clutch delay valve). According to the internets of the day, that was all the rage.
