That guy pissed me off in the first 20 seconds. Great way to analyse a mechanical failure. Let the component hit the workshop floor then kick it around and stomp on it like a moron. These guys are "experts"
Within a few minutes of the video starting I was already mildly annoyed by everyone in it. I'd hardly call them experts, it's pretty clear they're chasing youtube views/clout. The video description image is a dead giveaway, too. There isn't some great mystery here, they abused the car and the clutch failed. I wouldn't say its clickbait on the level of Scotty Kilmer, but still trash content.
I would this is isolated, if you are asking if I think Jesse had anything to do with it failing? Definitely not, if anything a custom tune is considerably safer and more efficient then default OTS maps
True. Jesse seems to do a great job with a very limited tool. That being said, custom map or not with JB4, i'm sure it's less reliable than a custom ecu time with a partial unlock.
Fuck this guy and his channel, he counts for less than nothing. These YT clickbaiters can't go away fast enough. An overheated clutch exploding on a drift car?! Gee, that's never happened before...
I remember he posted a video of him doing burnouts and donuts the moment he got delivery of the car. Proceeds to drift it a few days later as well.
In the G80 the CDV is in the line connecting to the slave cylinder. I know BMW has done it both ways but I'd start with checking that line first.
The slave cylinder and line are not available, as they don't even have a valid part number for them yet, along with many other MT and clutch-related parts. Pretty frustrating, as they started building actual production MT models in July of 2022, and test mules waaayy before that. Let me make a couple phone calls and see where we are in this process...
I've owned my car for two months now, and it is almost out of the 1,200 mile break in. I've followed that procedure religiously. The car has not seen over 4,500 RPM yet, and it will gradually see higher once it hits 1,200 miles.
Forget removing the restrictor, it has no influence on clutch failure. I've seen the same supposed "solution" of removing the restrictor on other makes and it has no effect other than making the clutch slightly harder to modulate. People remove it looking for a "magic bullet" to absolutely any clutch issue and even clutch "non issues". It's a pity the clowns in the video didn't take the time to sit down at the bench with a good light and a magnifier and try and see what happened to the plate. IE did it shed some lining due to a friction plate rivet failing or had it been chronically slipping and overheated and then failed or had the friction plate failed mechanically initially and then it shed material. Or did they just want to destroy the std clutch so they could fit a new unit they had waiting to go on.Hmmmmmm, I'm tempted to try something...
