no the e36 325i clutch will most likely be for a dual mass flywheel and wont work for a single mass flywheel.the top pressure plate covers on the duall mass set up are thinner and there are no springs on the clutch disc . where as the single mass pressure plate is normally taller and the clutch disc has springs in it .

if you go for the e36 325i flywheel it will be a dual mass unit and the rubber centre part might be stuffed . if you make a new one then make a single mass one with a clutch to suit (maybe a modified m20 325i clutch) m44 , m43 ,m42 will bolt straight up but most of those are also dual mass and the clutch is a little smaller in diameter. and will need to beefed up a little if you think you might give it a hard time. so realy m20 flywheel and starter is a easy option . up to you . i have a few options availible e36 97 328i dual mass with clutch e36 95 325i dual mass with clutch e36 95 m43 dual mass with clutch e34 520i m20 single mass with clutch also still in the car a 95 316ti a complete kit with single mass flywheel also a complete e36 conversion kit with what ever flywheel you want

i have some e36 6cyl spark tools

most later m42 m43 m44 engines seem to use the dual mass 12.25kg flywheel . but some early m40 m42 types with out air conditioning etc use a 9.9kg single mass

it depends which m20 flywheel you get wether you have to machine some of the back face off , the later m20 325i 525i use a heavier 10kg or so flywheel and they will need maching so it doesn't fowl on the sump . but the early m20 flywheels are lighter 6.2kg 7.5kg 8.5kg 10.75kg etc depending on which engine and year it came from . check the weights in the parts list http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E28/Seda..._mass_flywheel/ http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E28/Seda..._mass_flywheel/ http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E12/Seda...ngine/flywheel/ http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E21/Seda..._mass_flywheel/ http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E30/2-do..._mass_flywheel/ http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E30/2-do..._mass_flywheel/ then the last ones and the eta models had the very heavy dual mass unit 12.5kg http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E28/Seda..._mass_flywheel/ the 325i clutch is used on my e36 325i with a chipped ecu , was just good enough , i never realy gave it a hard time but it lasted about 40,000km i had the car and was a used clutch to start with . i think it was starting to get a bit weak towards the end of the time i had it .

depends which flywheel you use , but if you get one from say a 320i or 325i , then std 325i clutch will do , about $300-350 or get the pressure plate beefed up a little costs about $400-450 or so. for some stage reason the flywheel i ended up with has a smaller clutch surface area and std m20 clutch kit wouldn't bolt up , and he found some odd clutch kit from a 1.6l 1.8l models and he just put more clamp pressure into the pressure plate . seams to work fine

yes as long as they are both m40 or m10 engines like for like . same box between 1.6 and 1.8 models.

i run a m20 flywheel in my e36 328i with a m20 starter , manage to get a 7.2kg flywheel and had a m20 clutch beefed up to handle the extra torque etc . seams to be ok , spools up real quick . only thing is your gearbox may rattle a little bit if the revs are to low at idle , but nothing to worry about . both cars did it a little bit also had a similer unit on my last e36 325i with standard m20 clutch , worked alright for the 40,000km i had the car .

pretty easy job to swap radiators on these 540i's . 30 to 50min .

you can swap the 6sopd badge over .maybe look at this if you need a 6spd one. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-264740357.htm

depends on year , some early e34 have the millage chip in the loom plug in the bacj of the cluster , so when you change the cluster the millage stays with the car , later ones about 1989 onwards , millage chip is in the cluster so will change the millage when you swap a cluster over

LKM module in the fuse box left side behind front strut. heater tap needs to be replaced , on the fire wall left side .(maybe you can pull it apart & clean it out ) instrament cluster most likely has lots of bulbs blown and also faulty digital display , dry joints , bad capacitors . replace with another , just check what year and colour the back of it is .

thats the guy (car yard)i brought my e39 540i from . and yes he did tell me then that he had a m325i that he was playing with .

nice work . but you'd better fix that overheating problem eh

gear knob will also fit e28 , e24, e23 , e34 ,e32 etc etc .

that rattle noise comes from the gearbox when the revs drop below about 600rpm ,and more so when you have a lighter flywheel. push clutch in and no noise just about all my bmw's with the lighter single mass flywheel have done that . but fix all your intake pipes (vac leaks) etc so its not running lean

dont bother swapping to zf , as they are rare , and yes wou will have to swap the driveshaft and the trans computer and trans wiring loom etc . just convert it to a manual.or put another jatco box in , . try reseting the trans computer

does anyone have a laying about a complete or semi complete exhaust system with mufflers from a e30 325i etc . factory or aftermarket . prefer auckland etc but can travel if needed . for a mates 1990 325i with a hartge H27S engine etc . 021433600 or pm me .

yea it sold , someone just did the deal outside trademe so he with drew it . i think they got a bargain. i dont think he realised what was in the car . lots of rare hartge bits and lots of new or recond stuff

nice , yes have thought of that . but i already have 3 of these harddrives they dont cost much and they stay in the glovebox of each of my cars and are controlled by the jvc headunits controls . so dont realy need a screen on them etc . just wondered if there was a bmw factory look type option if i where to sell one of teh older bmw's and go to a e39 etc where i dont realy want to rip out the factory radio system and loose the obc features etc thanks brent

hi , is there another option like the cp600bmw that has a usb socket as would like to plug in a small portable harddrive , (160gb western digital passport) have seen the dension option is there any others ???

nah pretty easy .

saw that car in the flesh a few years ago , lots of bog went into that nose and bonnet and boot lid. was all cracking up .

bring it around and i will show you . or come around i have wiring diagrams etc cheers brent 021433600
