Burnt smell??? Clutch
I am in Seattle..which has some very steep hills. Today I was at a hill and I start to smell a burnt smell and I saw smoke coming from the engine. The temp gauge was fine but now whenever I hit the clutch for more than a few minutes I smell burnt rubber. Did I burn out my clutch??? The car runs fine....does anyone know if the BMW dealership in Seattle services mini's?
Thanks for any responses.....

It sounds like what I did to my clutch. I was told that it needs to be all the way in or all the way out, no leaving it partially catching. I noticed mine do that just after a few hundred miles. I think you'll be ok but take the advice of putting it in nuetral at stops and hold the clutch in as little as possible.
