I was looking at the 2025 M2 as a possible next car for me, but I know that at least after a few years I would want to add some power. Getting up to 700whp from just a few easy mods is incredibly tempting on these S58s, but I would be worried about needing a very aggressive clutch to handle that power. I wouldn't want to compromise the drive, since this is a bit more of a luxury cruiser.

I have a 2009 C6 Z06 right now with ~600whp NA, and definitely had to upgrade the clutch. It impacted the daily drivable nature of the car, but not as much as the cam required to do so with a naturally aspirated motor. Part of the appeal of the S58 is that you can make that kind of power with pretty tame manners if you aren't in boost.

Does anyone have direct experience with aftermarket clutches and how close they can get to a stock experience? Manual is a non-negotiable with this car (or whatever I pick up next).

Thanks in advance!
