          So this not a dual mass flywheel I assume?  What is the weight on it compared to stock?

            Single mass. It is 16 lbs compared to 25 lbs for the stock flywheel.

              That dere is the E39 M5 Clutch and pressure plate. Looks like i am building it right. Probably wont even start.... anyway I spent way more than I planned but oh well whats money when it comes to your BMW!

                  Did you know that on bimmerfest.com they were telling people to put their clutch disk in backwards to get rid of chattering. What do you think about that? Is it COMPLETELY ridiculous?

                    As long as you install with a left handed wrench it should be fine.

                          It won't work lol. The flywheel bolts will run into the clutch disk.

                              What sucks more is that I already returned the M3 clutch disc and pressure plate.

                                Maybe someone else has more info but I think you are supposed to use an e34 m5 clutch.  I have the UUC flywheel with oem sachs m5 (which is a sprung hub) clutch and pressure plate but I think its for an e34.  Not sure if the UUC flywheel is different to accommodate the different clutch, I didn't try fitting the stock pressure plate over the dowels.

                                  I have the E34 M5 clutch and pressure plate. I returned the stock OEM M3 kit. I am now thinking that I will have to use the M5 clutch disc and then buy the M3 Pressure plate! GRR and I went to put the exhaust on and I don't have any studs! God dammit this project is just one thing after the other. I feel like I am perpetually waiting for parts!

                                    Oh earlier you said it was for an e39 m5.  Do you need studs for the manifold to head or manifold to downpipe?  If you can put the exhaust manifolds on the head before putting it in the car do it.  I found out it's very difficult to put the manifolds on with the engine in the car.

                                      I now installed my M5 clutch with M3 pressure plate. They didn't send me a clutch alignment tool DAMMIT. Does anyone have a spare alignment tool?

                                          I have one for an m50 w/ getrag, is it the same?  I could mail it to you.  Just let me know.

                                          Should be the same since the trans are the same right. See if GunMetalGray has one, he is in the area.
