Has anyone had their clutch replaced under ext maint?

I have the extended maintanence contract with BMW. Every time I've had my car in for service, I've been complaing to my SA that my clutch is starting to slip. They drive it around the block and say they can't find any issues.

I actually only have problems on hot days after long drives, and launching it. Has anyone had any luck with getting theirs replaced under the service contract? I was under the assumption when I purchased it, that it covers FW, Clutch Disk, PP, and TOB + Labor.

I had mine replaced because it was making a noise in neutral while just idling. The noise would go away when I pushed the pedal in.

My clutch is starting to slip when I shift hard into 2nd or 3rd now as well, and I have the extended maint. plan too. My dealer is pretty cool about mods but I still think it will be hard to get something like a clutch out of them when I am pretty much full bolt-on except meth. That kinda affects how long your clutch lasts lol...
