Have a small six and wanna get rid of the dual mass flywheel, here’s a possible solution..............finally.

Not exactly cheap but between BMA and a little shopping round for the fly itself ($500 really isn’t that bad in fact) it is a viable option.

You guessed it, looking to get 'Rolf' back on the road.

92 325i 120K, ‘Rolf’ (blown clutch and 3 doors that don’t latch *rolleyes* )
91 Volvo 745T 191K, ‘Thor’ (13 psi beater, eats batteries *smirk* )
93 NX2000 160K ‘Carla’ (alive and thumping....daily *grin* )

Wait how is it 500$? the flywheel alone is almost 500 and then you have to buy a m5 clutch...

No, not cheap like an M30 w/ an e28 setup, but it does eliminate the dual mass and should make for a noticeable improvement.
I guess one can upgrade to the M3 clutch for more bite but that does keep the DM fly and doesn't lighten anything up.
