325_driver 422 Report post Posted November 4, 2005 hey guys im just thinking about getting a kit shipped in from pelican parts as they seem reliable ( not too flash on the replies though ) hate to be a pain but heres a question u guys probably might be able to answer. Clutch kits for a 325i on pelican parts are 1987 E30 models onward, i have a 1986 i dont see why it wouldnt fit. but i dont know enough about the mechanics of it all. Will the clutch for a 1987 E30 fit a 1986 ? theres no big difference between the two is there ? So i can just order it in and forget about the tech questions i keep trying to get through to pelican parts cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted November 4, 2005 clutches all the same - how much is the kit from pelican? and what is in it - you are probably still better off buying from BNT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
325_driver 422 Report post Posted November 5, 2005 ummmmmm, PEL-SKCKE30-06 is the code for it and its on this page Clutch Page its 283 US dollars so thats about 400 nz dollars and then you got shipping and all that. their aparantly oem, what are my other options. like how about i could get it done through sherson, but i dont want any labour work done, have some car mechanic friends that will fit the clutch for a ultimate quarter pack. so who are some good people to see about getting clutch systems, obviously bmw specialists, cause any one that doesnt like bmw, mention the 1000 dollar mark. what about SD european ? they worth the drive ? places up in auckland ? birch ave auto spares, had a talk with the guy today and hes happy to give me a quote as we buy stuff regulary there ? it would be great if you could throw some trust worthy names out, cause i dont know who to trust ..... i drive a bmw, i knew this was going to happen.

bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted November 5, 2005 just because its a BMW dosent mean you have to go genuine, just go to Supercheap/Repco/BNT and get a decent clutch, or fork a bit more out and get a uprated clutch from proclutch? or similar... Ring keith at Auto Brake and Clutch or something.... I dont see what your problem is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted November 5, 2005 get the LuK clutch from BNT - its cheaper than the BNT kit. And its in the country already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
325_driver 422 Report post Posted November 6, 2005 Quotes........ BNT: Standard, looking at 580, ( 620 including shipping from gisbourne ) LuK Clutch, Came to 500. ( All these prices were for the parts and not being fitted ) Coombes Johnson BMW, One option only, came to round about 600 Auto Brake and clutch the same Other people were quoting round the 800 dollar mark......... Pelican parts lol....... provided they can reply to my tech question is 450 including shipping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
