Rowleym Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 My flywheel is from an m20! Supposedly a single mass from an e. I'll try to find it.. Thanks for the site though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Did you get the back side of the flywheel machined down for proper fitment? What clutch are you using? Yes, use REALOEM.com, just make sure to click "archive' to find e30 stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Damn. I might have done this wrong. Does this look like not enough room? Some 6 puck eBay clutch. Supposedly got good review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Looks like your flywheel may be off to the machine shop for some more material removal and balancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 lol, ebay clutches. lol....not Some ebay clutches are actully decent. Especially for the price. I know XTD makes a decent clutch for the price. Just because something is sold on ebay, doesn't mean it is junk. Look at Condor Speed Shop.

Rowleym Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Looks like your flywheel may be off to the machine shop for some more material removal and balancing.damn. That means I have to get new flywheel bolts also, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because something is sold on ebay, doesn't mean it is junk. Look at Condor Speed Shop.Thank you sir. I did my research on this and a ton of people are running F1 clutchs on bmw's with success. The only downside I have seen is clutch chatter, which I could care less about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Flywheel bolts are TTY (torque to yield) and need to be replaced each time they are torqued to spec then removed. Sure, you can re-use them, but if they back out 500 miles after everything is back together then it would be incredibly annoying to have to do the job over, while risking damage to the transmission from a loose clutch assembly/flywheel flailing about within the confines of the bellhousing.
