My clutch is toast at 13,800 miles. (archive)

I must have picked up Mark's karma for this week -- my clutch gave up the ghost this evening, with a horrible burnt-brake smell which still lingers two hours after parking the car. I've driven plenty of stick-shift cars over the years, and this is a first. It's pretty clearly a design problem.

For those who have already had this problem -- what was your experience getting BMW to pick up the tab for the repair? Any special incantation necessary (like a TSB #)?

Thanks,
Ben "guess I'm stuck commuting in the Viper" Treynor
