He may have pm'ed you with information, but its mostly incorrect, ... the first early run had issues with bolts backing out. And that caused the clutch pedal To stick at high rpm. My 2011 has had zero issues.. I can drive a stick though. And have long legs so I know when the clutch is fully depressed, and I don't have numb ham hocks for hands hammering the shifter like a roided up ray charles... And my car converted an M3 owner and a Z4M owner to switch cars... hell even my father in law admits my car shifts better than his z06. But hey mechanical failures happen to the best things. Its also true this subject is worn down
