Just had my clutch replaced. Problems leading up to replacement were not diagnosed properly and each time I got the car back from dealer I could tell that something was not right (4 trips to dealer). Each time they said that everything was fine and that what I thought was suspect was normal. Now I have car back and it still is not right. You can feel the clutch slipping unless you are pretty much full bore. For more history check this ( Long winded thread) I hijacked from member coolcat:

So, I have some questions:
1. When the dealer said it was finished but needed to be thoroughly test driven (SA took home over night) and requires some break in, is that true?
2. Would flywheel be replaced as standard procedure since they are doing clutch?
3. Does anyone know of a BMW dealer in Jersey or Eastern PA that has a good M technician working on cars or even maybe just a dealer who can competently diagnose and replace a clutch and new clutch adaptations?
4. Anyone in central Jersey with an 06' M5 (mine is a late 06 build w/63,000 miles) that is mechanically sound like to help me out and drive my car so that I know that I am not losing my mind?
