1st clutch wasn't bad when AWE did a stage 3 install back in 2004. They put in 1 of their stage 2
clutches at that time and that clutch is going fast. They disengage the self adjusting clutch mechanism on the pressure plate. I thought that the pedal release point would just rise as the clutch wore, but apparently that is not the case and instead it is getting harder and harder to get the car in gear with clutch pedal in while running. Turn the car off and it engages fine. Reverse it just about impossible to engage now while running. Car wants to lurch foward when starting if I start with clutch in with a gear engaged.

Still allroad happy
At the time I needed to make a decision (last June), the 535xi wasn't yet available. I'm happy holding onto the allroad, especially with Jason heading to college in the fall.
