My 81k/1999 E36 has just developed what I think one might refer to as a knackered clutch.
Slight judder when pulling away, revs flairing in higher gears with no increase in speed. And oh yes, a really bad smell of burning.

What am I looking at to get it replaced?

The judder could mean a warped flywheel, from slippage heat, but that will be visible when the clutch is off.
A clutch swap should be at a max of £300 with a clutch included (approx 120-ish for a sachs clutch, and 150-ish labour) with maybe a little extra for a flywheel skim if it is out of shape.

Thanks TheEnd, that's not as bad as I feared. I use a good indy so will take it down there.
