Clutch Life

Say you have a manual e39 and you dont drag race the car or sprint it from 0-60. Like just driving ms. daisy type, how long does a clutch last?

I am interested in a manual car and it still has the original clutch.
Car has 60k miles on it and is a yr 2000.

I have a 2001 E39 with 150,000+ miles and I'm still on my first clutch!

I had 230,000 on my E39 528 original clutch and no signs of slippage. Was going to replace this summer just because it had to be time, but car was totaled.
