flywheel rattle.. bad bearing.. eh?

[Rav335uk]

I might just look for a good used M30 DMF and clutch and put that on.... keep it nice and cheap.!

your paying 350 just for the DMF

They're more than that new.

[leeparkes]

All release bearings are the same.

they are not mate !!!

You can use a dual mass release bearing on a single mass fly and vice versa, same diameter and the shoulders are at the same height, iirc M20's are the same too.

I'll leave you to it.

[rich318i]

you not doing a S38 then?

[Rav335uk]

Who's doing an S38 then??

[Bristol_Jer]

All release bearings are the same.

they are not mate !!!

Yes they are :

http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/21517521471/

Even the s38 is in that list, although I'm not even sure why that was mentioned?!

[Bristol_Jer]

Dunno if any of these numbers help.



Thats a Sachs E28 3.5 friction plate.

My flywheel is E28 525i, the lightest out the lot at 7.5KG, 3.5's are 10KG.
You can use ANY E28 M30 flywheel and ANY E28 M30 240mm friction plate but the pressure plate must be from a 3.5 to handle the power.

Lee, do you know how much the m5 flywheel I've got in mine weighs?

Id give up now Jer.


Iirc M5 fly is the same at 7.5KG

[Bristol_Jer]

Yes I think I will!

Mcbonio, I have a dualmass flywheel with clutch up in my loft that came with my engine, I haven't tried it in my car so I don't know what condition it is in as I went straight for the single mass, but if you get stuck for one I can post it to you to try, and then sort out some £ if it is any good. Postage will be a bitch though as it is heavy as fook! Not sure if you had sorted one from Rav but if you're struggling to find one give me a shout.

If it was me though, I'd get a single mass flywheel, got it refaced and fit a new clutch, and then you're good to go for many miles of happy m30 motoring Costs more initially, but at least you know it is all sorted and won't need any work for a few years especially if you are planning on keeping the car for a while (this is what I did to mine by the way)

[Rav335uk]

Well, from me , he has a choice of D/mass E34 fly or E28 singlemass

[Bristol_Jer]

Ok sorry Rav, wasn't trying to rob a sale from you bud, just posted in case

[Rav335uk]

No probs, he hasn't said yea or ney yet.
So, it's all open to who ever helps him out.

[rich318i]

Who's doing an S38 then??

my mate is, His rebuilding the whole engine up and running by the summer

[Bristol_Jer]

Which release bearing is he going to use?

[rich318i]

the right one of course

[mcbonio]

Ok pm'd. I think It'd rather chuck in a DMF for now, not really looking for more upgrades as the car can't effectively put down the power it has now.. lol

[Kos]

rich318i needs to shut up

every time is see him post its nothing but shi7
