Help!!:89 535i flywheel

[AG535]

Hey guys, I need some advice. My car (89 535i)went into the dealership to get a new clutch. Found out that the flywheel is ruined. OEM flywheel is way to expensive. :(

I looked on Bavarian and they have the aluminum lightweight flywheel kit. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this. Does anyone have this setup in there car. Any other suggestions would be a great help.

520-170-240 Bavarian Autosport Aluminum Flywheel Kit $634.95

Our aluminum flywheel kit reduces engine rotational weight so your BMW can accelerate faster. The complete kit includes aircraft-quality aluminum flywheel, replaceable steel clutch disc surface, OEM dowel pins and pressure plate hardware, helicoil inserts, bolted-on starter ring gear, hardened flywheel bolt ring and flywheel bolts. It's a direct replacement for OE flywheels so no modification is necessary. 19 LBS LIGHTER THAN STOCK!

A couple guys on this board have gone with the earlier e28 m30 flywheels. They need the earlier clutch to bolt up. These are not the dual mass flywheels that rattle & cost $$. I had an e28 flywheel milled down to 15 pounds.

Didn't I hear you say you sold it to Derek?

It was a spare one I picked up cheap.

Do you happen to know if the e34 m5 flywheel is a dual mass unit like the one found in the 535i?

I've got a spare dual mass I'd be happy to sell for cheap. Contact me at jsnord@hotmail.com. Shipping would be ~ 35 lbs from zip 98007.
