Question Clutch life?

Im looking for an m6, but I want to know how long the stock clutches last, and what are your driving styles. Thanks for any help.

Thats a hard question to answer. It can be from 6 months/less than 10k and I have seen some go up to 100k. It all depends on the driver. The hydrolics normally go out before the clutch, which in turn causes premature clutch slippage and good by clutch. I had 56k on my T/A when I started having slippage on the stock clutch. Replaced the clutch with SPEC S1 and lasted me less than 15k before I realized my hydrolics were bad. 3 clutches later and 4 tranny drops and Im loving my LS7 set up.

15k on my ls7 clutch with 413whp! Done a few huge burnouts and it gets speed shifted almost everyday. My car is no baby I did got it to slip a little once when i went from a 3rd gear burnout and it didn't like me trying to go into 4th! As soon as i put it in 4th it started to slip so i let off! So after that and a cool down i drove the car home and everything is good! Stick grabs like a **** just doesn't like heat from 3 and 4th gear burnouts LOL
