The clutches on both of the cars I drove seemed to be in pretty good shape. I can drive stick fine, but I'd never driven anything as new and as sporty as the Z4 so I must admit that I was a bit nervous. I was starying veeeeery gently at first, but picked it up once I calmed down.

Man, those are cars are there to be abused :)

When I took out the Z4 3.0i, I drove slow until no one was behind nor in front of me, stopped, then mashed the gas and accelerated from stand-still to about 80-85mph (in a 45) and mashed the breaks, letting the ABS kick in to bring me to a complete stop, then repeated the process.
