I have a 98 e36 M3 euro spec, teh car has 36,000kms on it and I already replaced the clutch once before (disk and plate)the previous owner wasn't real good with a maunual, at least that what I tought. This weekend at a BMW gathering in San Antonio, Tx we went out for a drive thru the hill country and the car was AWSOME! the guys in e30 M3 had just nothing to do, (121hp difference)After some 120mph + runs and heavy breaking and shifting, when we stopped for some pics and after about 15 minutes I started my car and moved it for some pics, everything seemed normal until I tried to make a crazy U turn, taht is with a burnout, and the clutch just let go, the car felt as if it was spinning, revs went up but no mevement. And that horrible smell of burned clutch.
