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.

Spelling!!!

Do you have the smaller hole pilot bearing or the large one ?

This is correct if you are using the E34 M5 clutch and you can use the E34 pressure plate. You need an aftermarket flywheel so you can flip the clutch so it will lay inside the flywheel. I'm not familiar with your flywheel at all.

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!

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

Is the Manual one the same do you think? I actually need a S52 cover plate though not an m4x. Or any 6 cylinder. I dont see why the manual and auto would be different cover plates... they both bolt up the same way.
