    Rock auto https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/bmw,2001,330ci,3.0l+l6,1370922,transmission-manual,clutch+kit,1993 :

    • Luk DMF Flywheel ~$588.26
    • Sachs clutch kit  ~$227.45
    • Flywheel and Clutch ~$850.75 (Vs ~$785.71 when shipped separately)

    Though upon further research these appear to be 330xi PNs. Will investigate further (anyone know if Xi clutches work in RWD?)

    Also the Speedfactor 9KG kit is a 240mm clutch.

    Added a poll and found some more options to buy. The cheapest (NB: all prices are to my door in NZD) is "clutchmax" at $680, but I've never heard of them and it's a stage 2 kit. There's an OEM dual mass kit for $1050 which is appealing (it is a convertible, not a race car, so smoothness and how much it rattles is important ). Next would be the 9KG kit from speed factor for $30 less.

     

    Does someone in Wellington have a lightweight flywheel or a standard manual e46 I can listen to/try?

    Any suggestions on a good flywheel weight? I've found the following. I'm thinking see if I can get a speedfactor flywheel and an e34 M5 clutch..?

    I could look at getting a pressure plate rebuilt, as I've got 2 240mm m30 ones (including an E28 M5) as well as the existing M54 one.

    Combo Kits:

    SM Flywheels:

    DM Flywheels 21217512474:

    DMF Clutch Kit 21207531843:

    Friction disc:

    Pressure plates:

    SMF Clutch Kits:

    Some Clutch PNs:

    • Standard m30 21219069010
    • Later m30 21219069012
    • M5 21212226428

    E46 msport steering wheel airbag emblem, mines been removed (perhaps by a knife!?). The airbag's been replaced under the recall according to BMW. Is my best bet to find a replacement emblem and stick it on (not sure how that works if it goes off) or find a replacement airbag?

    So I picked up my latest project yesterday, it made for an interesting drive back from Napier... Was stolen, presumably thrashed, recovered and then sold to myself at Turners.

    You put your foot down, the RPMs increase, then drop then start increasing along with your speed. If you floor it the RPM increases as you'd expect but nothing else really happens, then you start to move, in the upper RPM range it seems to be better (presumably everything is loaded up at this point). There is a large disconnect between the throttle/RPM and the speed, feels like driving an auto that you can stall. After the last and particularly slow hill on my way home I could smell what I assume to be clutch (a kind of burnt smell, similar to that of a train braking hard), my guess is the flywheel is stuffed which is proceeding to cook the clutch at lower RPMs.

     

    Assuming my diagnosis that I'm up for a clutch and flywheel is correct, what suggestions do people have? Clutch I'm thinking e34 M5 and flywheel I'd like the cheapest (but still adequate option), undecided on DMF vs SMF. This is a road going convertible so not looking for some insane race clutch and ultra light flywheel
