Well    the box is  out & its got a lovely  clean    solid  mass  flywheel      disc is worn  cover is ok  . Its done  just on 200 k &  NZ new  so it  would be origonal .    So the   mech is  going to locate a clutch plate or get it  remade  . Guess I should have waited  for the box to  come out before buying    solid  conversion kit  .  So much  forl 328s   ALL having dual mass   f wheel  .

  Well bit of a mission   turns out my 328Is  has a  nice  lightweight  solid  flywheel    mech   thinks its   origonal  .   The  E30   f wheel   & clutch press  plate   & new   clutch  disc     bolt up  BUt  its smaller  & ring gear teeth dont mesh with the starter  . So went to   Auto  Brake &  clutch   &  bought  new kit      but  its  for  dual mass  f wheel so  had to get  another  separate    plate as well .  replaced    release   bearing too .&  skimmed the  f wheel    On road now. But the  clutch is all at the bottom of the  pedal    ,mech     says  may have to  make a spacer  for the release  bearing to  engage it   earlier  .  This car is a  96 328 Is  sport   , second 1 ive had  but its  different    , has a spoiler at top of  rear wnidow & a  wing  ,   dual airbags  &  heated  seats  . different     climate controls     .  . Although   NZ new i wonder if its  a   Sth africa  assembled ?      Ill put the   325   kit inc new plate  on Tm & the   dual   mass  plate for the 328  ,   hope to off set  the costs

Not to be disrespectful or anything, but your lack of formatting makes it very hard to follow.

Also Brent @ BM World knows his stuff. I recommend either giving him a call and/or writing a clear list of what you actually have and a separate list of what you want.

Lots of e36s have been manual converted, so you can't rely on everything you find being factory (unless of course you have proof). Parts are also plentiful, so you shouldn't have to make a spacer or use any custom parts.

I would say the release bearing carrier is the wrong one. There are 2 types, one is 10mm longer than the other
