No NOT agree!
If the clutch disc will not slide easily on the splines, it will drag on
the flywheel or Clutch cover, causing crunchy engagement, esp. when
cold, and cause there to be a lot of pedal travel in an attempt to free
up the disc.
Not so?

The point is, that gunk on the splines does NOT affect clutch
release. But is seen in delayed/abrupt engagement of the clutch. The
obvious is that on the BWM, you either kill the engine, or do an
unexpected wheelie. Worst in first.
If Curt's 240D had gunked up splines, it would not cause the symptoms
Curt described in my experience. It would cause unintended "popping
the clutch."
