I am reporting a safety-related failure involving the clutch system on my 2022 BMW M3. At approximately 26,000 miles when I purchased, I began experiencing clutch-related issues, including slipping and abnormal engagement. I brought the vehicle to the BMW dealership on two separate occasions to report these concerns, but the dealership dismissed the issue and did not document or inspect the clutch. At approximately 33,000 miles, while driving on the freeway, the clutch failed to properly engage and would not catch gears, creating an unsafe driving condition and placing myself and other motorists at risk. This loss of engagement occurred during normal driving and was not related to abuse, racing, or track use. After this incident, the dealership inspected the vehicle and discovered excessive clutch debris through the bellhousing inspection port, indicating accelerated and premature wear. The clutch and flywheel now require replacement. This issue was reported earlier but not documented, delaying diagnosis and allowing the clutch to degrade to a point where it created a safety hazard. I am concerned this represents a premature failure of a critical drivetrain component under normal driving conditions. I am submitting this complaint so the issue is formally documented as a potential safety defect.
