CSC Failure Symptoms?

The first and cheapest thing to try would be to replace the clutch fluid with something like a Motul 600 or one with a higher temperature rating than the OEM stuff.

If the fluid looks dark, then you definitely need to replace it. If this works, you'll get a lot more life out of the CSC. Mines only gone to the floor once while at the track, and never did it again.

You don't mention what year yours is or how many miles you have.

I don't think our manual recommends it, but I always flush/change my Clutch and Brake fluid every 2 years. It was part of normal maintenance schedule on my BMW and I never had any problems. The BMW mechanics were pretty insistent about it.
