One option for the E34 535i is to replace the dual mass flywheel with a standard single mass E28 or E12 flywheel. You can find one used at a junkyard, its lighter (8-12lbs) and easy to install. I believe you'll need the E28 clutch kit and E28 flywheel bolts. Do a search or maybe others can comment on what else you may need. Good Luck!

that's about the cheapest and easyest option, going aftermarket light weight flywheel can get close to a grand by time you get a clutch
