Boys I own an e46 6 cilinder since 1.5 years, apparently it had a new clutch at 150 k miles and it did feek stiff, i have been driving very hard and slipping a but, it does feek softer but still really stiff at the same time, it s actually easier to change gear since the clutch does bit a couple millimiters later on the pedal... is this normal wear considering the ckutch had been new? I have 0 problems with it now after 20 k miles
