If you want quality buy a Sach's that will last for over 100k miles
What you should be thinking about is how you would feel if you fitted a poor quality clutch and had to have the box out a few months down the line.
Clutch on an M50'd E30 is not a nice job at all, even with a 2 post lift

Dan i worded that wrong i didnt mean for it to sound cheap fella just didnt want to spend mega bucks on one.

If you have a flywheel/clutch you have been using then yeah use that depending on how much meat is left, but if your looking to buy a new one then spend a bit extra and get the best. You dont need to go mad and buy up-rated clutches but £120 for a Sachs is well worth the money considering how long it will last

M20 flywheel is better as not dual-mass rubbish, so I'd go for a new M20 clutch.

Ba, I don't take what they say onboard mate, I take it all in jest, they all know they have plastic engines.

Baz that thread rav posted is irrelevant to your conversion, you dont need to touch the engine arms, just fit rubber mounts.
E28 M535 mounts are about £60+ now
Ive used these in the link below on my track car and they are fine

Are you talking about the AKG mounts? I did ask them
Would have to dig out the email, but think its 10% off if you can get 10 orders together.
