Your Ride: 1995 325i
Interestingly enough mine is a 325i with a 2/95 production date as well, and much as I try to deny it, the original battery is giving up the ghost after 12 years of dependable service. I had to get jump started twice in the past few days (ominous sign in itself), and while the new battery was ordered today and coming in tomorrow, in the meantime I've taken to disconnecting the (-) lead just to maintain whatever cranking power I have left (an inconvenience for sure, but it's get me by). Earlier today I reconnected and started the car, and it sputtered and shook and ran just lousy, all of which cleared up after I got out on the street and did some normal driving. But as to what caused this, I don't know, I suspect it had something to do with a low battery charge screwing up the electronics for emissions control, so if your battery is an original and old and in a generalized weak state, that could be the source of your problem, not anything (that I can think of anyway) that replacement of a clutch would cause.
