I need a used dual mass flywheel - 535 1992

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

Anyone have a used dual mass flywheel for a 535, 1992. The one I have is scored beyond recognition. I'll post some pics.

Some young punk, friends nephew, stole his car, and fried the clutch.

The car's got 230k+ miles on it, and good rust. Going to be that's friends daughters first car. The car still has life, but he does not want to spend the dough on a brand new flywheel.

I see three for sale at http://car-part.com under $100.

Or swap in the E28 flywheel. Easy swap, you need the flywheel, the 6 flywheel bolts and the E28 clutch kit. Had one for years in my car - no worries. Tad less off the line torque but slightly better acceleration and much better blip rev matching on down shifts.

If you haven't done it, great time to stuff in a new rear main seal.

i can probably dig up one if you can't score one closer

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

Thanks all.

I already have the clutch kit, so I'll have to stick with the dual mass. Great idea though.

You see the scoring on the flywheel pictured. Certainly sanding it down would never work, imho. Looks like metal was melted to the surface, and that seemingly melted metal on the surface has a knifes edge that would certainly chew up the new clutch rather quickly.

I have an email in with http://www.browningautoparts.com/asp/partlocator/part.asp to get a $65 one. We'll see what shipping that sucker will cost though!

Winfred, if it's not too much trouble, I'd pay you the same for a flywheel, that is, if you want?

[winfred]

sounds cool but i likely won't get into work today to get my hands on it as it snowed 3" this morning and the city lost it's mind

i figured id just crash the e30 with the hard ass summer tires so i went drifting in the truck

Thanks Winfred, I have not heard from that other source yet anyway. Maybe you can still help.

Yeah, for down there, that surely is a lot of snow. Probably shut the whole town down I'm sure.

Has anyone ever attempted to take one of these apart?

[Tiger]

Bimmer Ed can try... it is already trashed... how much worse can he do? LOL.

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

I will take it apart. That'll be interesting. Once I get all this together, working and out of my garage though.

Winfred, PM me when you can get your hands on one for me, thanks.

Can you resurface that? Or rather can I resurface that?

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

It's looks too bad to resurface. Looks like melted metal on top. I know that the clutch was totally abused. It's a long story, but my friends drunk unlicensed nephew stole the car (he was supposed to be watching the house and the dog while friend was on vac!). He drove the car, and he does not know how to drive stick, I suspect he floored it, while trying to take off in third or something. I think it's trashed. Stop by Josh, if you want to give it a try. You know where I'm at.

BTW, how'd that fuel pump work out?

[winfred]

i hope to have time to check out that wheel tomorrow, someone was nice enough to move everything i had stashed while i was on vacation last month so i gotta search for the one i though i had, hit me with a address so brian can figure the freight and whatnot :D
