Purchased New:
- Propshaft Coupling: 26 11 1 225 624
- Flywheel Spacer: 11 22 1 262 827
- Flywheel Bolts x 8: 1 22 7 805 885
- Clutch Assembly Kit: Sachs kit from: buycarparts.co.uk

Haha this is my e30 bible, as I don’t do socials.

It’s been very helpful to me for the past 7/8 years of e30 enthusiasm :)

That is an awesome list. May I ask what ballpark the total bill was including BMR's time. I cannot find a manual version of the car I want and have been mulling this over as a way forward.

I know what you mean in regards to finding the car you want. I’ll put a breakdown together and ping you the details.

(I had various bits done by BMR at the same time so need to work out what’s what.)

Hi, apologies for the delay - total cost including labour was £2508.39.... breakdown as attached. I chose to have the flywheel lightened and also opted for a short shift lever.
