Need advice..

So I need some advice.. I have a 2014 BMW M5, with 51k miles on it. My clutch has basically failed. So I want to see what i should do.. Should I fix it and keep driving it(if anyone can send me in the right direction on what needs to be done as im tuned) or should I just trade in the car for something else(my car is paid off) and avoid future issues with this thing?

Thanks!

When you say failed do you mean catastrophic slipping or worse?

If you plan to sell, what would you buy? Otherwise, getting the upgraded clutches means you could push for more power or stay at current power and not worry about clutches going out again.

Exactly, SSP has that 900+ ft/lbs clutch pack and I hear all in people have them installed and the part purchased for 4k-5k

Don't they usually last longer than 50k miles? I wonder if it's been LC'd alot in its past.

OP should just upgrade his clutch instead of trade it in and take a bigger loss.
