    Default Overkill?

    So i think the Stage II detailed here is one of the options other than factory original equipment to replace my clutch.There is no option listed for the E34 540 but the quote was in line with what they list for the E39 M5 i think.It would require a NEW Dual mass flywheel.The existing part would not work properly if merely resurfaced ( scuffed up or whatever is usually done if resuing the flywheel when replacing the Clutch) so the total job would probably come in somewhere over $2,000.00 and the OEM ,BMW factory quote was around $1,000.00 without a new Flywheel. As interesting as it sounds to me to have a one of a kind original custom built kevlar clutch in my car is this just out of proportion for this car? I'm just not really certain the car really needs that kind of overengineering. It's not that i can't really afford it or anything just wondering if its simply going overboard for no real purpose other than of course long life which i suppose is of value.
