How long does it take for the X5 clutch to wear out?

It depends a lot on ones personal driving style and conditions.,Obviously if you do a lot city driving ,this will wear out your clutch more than Motorway driving.I would expect 130,000 miles in mixed conditions.

48K here on our '01 3.0 5 Spd and other than the common clutch pedal "squeak", it feels fine. I haven't "worn out" a clutch since my Woodward Ave drag racing days in the mid-'60s, lol!

I'd expect 100K, though the throwout bearing/clutch finger may be the weaker part of the system. This car is not exactly a "let's pop the clutch and lay a patch" type of car.

When it just revvs up and the car doesnt move much. 43k miles for a clutch change is usually quite premature. I hope you rev match when you shift. That wears the disc a lot less.
