As evident in the image, the sticker was getting hot enough to char over the 32k miles, many of which saw stop-go traffic.
Of note, I'd struggled with inconsistency in the clutch engagement from day 1, with symptoms only worsening over time, then eventually severe enough to replicate in the presence of a technician.
Since replaced, the clutch has been solid, smooth, consistent and shutter free.

What I find super interesting is the fact that the plastic sticker held up for all that time. You would think that a couple of dozen fast starts would have vaporised it!
I guess we live and learn. Did BMW offer you any "compensation" for lack of enjoyment. The fact that you have been at them and it took this long and it was clearly an assembly mistake. Think they owe you something...
