Need some help i am thinking of putting a UUC MOTORWERKS stage 2 light flywheel in my E30 325i track project it looks as tho the flywheel and clutch will fit OK and fit the bell housing but i do not no if the starter motor will be OK as the hole kit i am thinking of fitting has come out of my mate E36 Z3 that was supercharged and running NOS so really need to no if anyone has this flywheel in there car with the standard starter motor OR can the E36 starter motor fit the M20 bell housing

the uprated flywheel looks to have one tooth less but the teeth are higher as well on the uprated wheel really just going to put it up and spin the car over and see what happens with the gearbox out if its no good has anyone ever fitted a E36 starter motor to a E30 before or can i get the gear from the E36 starter motor onto my e30 m20 starter motor :?: :?:

donno, depends if the m50 used the same block as the m20, someone here will know though. if it is the e36 item should just bolt on.
