Right, I know I've asked people a lot, but will a 1989 325 clutch pressure plate fit a 1989 320i clutch?

I know it would be heavier, but I just need to know if it will physically fit and work ok? Does anyone know for definite?

Yes it will fit, the friction plates are the same but the 325i pressure plate has stronger springs. They are both the same dimensions and it will work ok.

Thank you! That's what I wanted to know. That helps so much - I've got a 325 clutch sat here and a garage that's offered to change it for Ԛ£120 - not got the time to do it myself. Cheers, Ian
