My clutch was replaced at about 90,000 miles because the release bearing was getting seized onto the spline. The old disk wasn't worn much. 171000 on the current clutch.

I replaced the cat a few yesrs ago to pass an emissions test. It was in great shape otherwise. The muffler looks like it's nearly done (corrosion).

A lot of BMW parts are over-priced, but I have to say the exhausts really are a good value in the long run. Same with my previous e36. At 220k that one was still fine too. Maybe just a little noisier than new but fine.

Same clutch on that one too. If you use it right I think the clutch disc itself would never wear out. Obviously you can still run into other mechanical problems like yours. But I think a lot of people let it slip way more than necessary.
