I found that after I had already bought mine elsewhere. Grumble.

Thanks for sharing. It obviously depends on driving style, but at what mileage do the clutches typically give up on the Z4M?

Enormous variance, 60-100k? They can go longer or shorter that it all depends. Nothing special about Z4M clutches afaik.

As you said depends more on driver but I’ve seen heavily tracked cars that have over 80k street miles on original clutches.

Having just done a clutch on one, I can guarantee you that they are nothing out of the ordinary. Perhaps sized to handle the torque, otherwise pretty much what you'd find in a lower powered BMW.

I agree on the "it depends" part regarding clutches in general. There are people who wear them out in under 20K miles because they rest their foot on the pedal. There are people who match speeds so well that clutches outlast engines. Pretty much everything in between.
