Hey guys, I was wondering how many hours I should expect for a clutch R&R on my E92 335i?

Thanks!

I believe (don't quote me) BMW calls it 1.5 or 2 hours of work

is this your second clutch? or is there some reason it's not being covered? or are you just curious

or if you've bought a clutch and want to install it yourself you're probably looking at an hour to an hour and a half

Repair pal (www.repairpal.com) says figure on $522 to $666 labor (for Chicago)

and $375 to $511 for parts

Well Ive had 3 clutches out... and its no where near 1.5 hours... Under warranty they quote 6 hours... took them 4 hours for mine... each time

hmm.. surprised it really took that long I must have gotten that confused with something else it was there for

i would have never thought that a clutch is under warranty? is it really i thought it would be wear and tear so it wouldnt be.

I am just curious, I think my clutch is holding fine for now. I am still on the original clutch, so either way I slice or dice it, it's going to be around $1000 parts and labor...

Thanks guys.

wow 4 hours only?

thats awesome! my previous car was nothing to brag about (rsx type-s) and it was listed as a 10-hour job... needless to say it took me 4-5 hours with a buddy in the garage...

i forsee some more mods in the not-so-distant future....

well of course it wasnt under warranty... Warranty hours say 6-8.... But since I payed for the work they charged me a flat rate and only charged of the time it took which was about 4 hours for each time i was there

ar design · 03-03-2009, 06:37 PM

DIY is definitively not 4 hours. 6-8 is more like it, especially without a lift.

Damn dude what are you doing to the car?

Just got my clutch replaced (20k miles), oil change, rear brakes changed, and taillight housing replaced all under warranty. It took a little over a day at a very busy dealership.

Damn, is this a Honda? There's no way it's that quick.
