The car is an M44 E36 318is but the flywheel is from an M42 engine car so was hoping you guys may be able to help find the right clutch kit for it

My car needs a new clutch and I've got hold of a single mass M42 flywheel which I'd like to put in instead of the heavy dual mass f/w. Does anyone know the part number(s) or have a link for a single mass M42 clutch kit please?

Are you sure yours has a dual mass flywheel? I've had quite a few M42s apart and none had a dual mass flywheel, they all had the M40 flywheel which is probably what you have.

AFAIK the dual mass flywheel was only fitted to cars with a/c

Sorry guys, maybe I should have made it clearer that the car's an e36 with an M44 engine and air con. I'm just asking for advice here because I thought you guys would have more knowledge of the M42 single mass setup.
I just need to know which standard clutch kit the M42 single mass f/w used then I can go and grab one from ECP or somewhere

Ah simples. There was just some crossover about whether ALL e30 318iSs had single or some had dual mass f/w. Some things I read said most had dual mass with only very early ('89) spec iSs having single mass, other stuff said all single mass.
Anyway, I will check wherever I buy it that it's a single mass kit. Cheers chaps.
