What do you think??

So since i bought my '12 SS M6 with 3 miles on the clock i have felt the clutch just doesnt engage smoothly. I have driven stick my whole life and i am a tech for BMW so i know how a clutch should feel. I eventually decided its just the car never had it looked at by the dealersship. i have just over 9000 on the car and i just drove a buddies '12 SS stock just like mine and holy crap the clutch is sooo smooth. i have an appointment tomorrow im hoping theyll put a clutch in it something is just not right with the car. i have a good relationship with my service advisor and dealership but i just have this feeling they wont help. me personally for bmw if i did find a difference between cars id no problem replce the clutch. do you think theyll step up and help out? sorry for the long read

I've noticed the bmw's clutches (especially the new 3 series) are VERY smooth. So it maybe something you were used to. But keep us informed.

I have a 2013 mV6 with 1500 miles and have noticed a clunky type sound and shutter when engaging the clutch between 1st and 2nd and seldom with 2nd to 3rd. If I get to about 3000 rpm it normally won't happen but it sucks when driving in houston traffic cause the sound is kind of embarrassing. I've driven standard vehicles my whole life and have never had this problem before. Not sure if it's me or a possible problem. Any ideas...?

Houston 5 camaro,

If you are worried, you should take your Camaro to the dealership just to be sure. Some reassurance may help put your mind at ease!

ive been complaining about the clutch since I bought, 2012 V6 they tell me its normal. I never had a clutch this sloppy, sometimes it feels as if you didnt even engage the clutch. IDK call me crazy but this cant be normal.
