Lcsman, on the matter of flywheel replacement, maybe you have some suggestions for me. I just burned the crap out of my clutch in take-off 1st- 2 gear, with total slip and serious burning. I was trying to show-off by revving my car in front of a MB mechanic and then dropped the hammer somewhere between 2-4K RPMs, and nothing transfered to the wheels, first time trying something as stupid as this and first time I "felt" a clear slip. Stunk of burned material in my car for some time thereafter but worked fine once cooled. At 21K and 18 months old, sounds like I should be able to skip on the flywheel and just go with a new clutch. Avus says its $1200 for the OEM install of new clutch, and $2K if I want the Dinan lightweight flywheel. Obviously I rather not spend the additional money on a flywheel. Is the flywheel likely OK?
I don't see how others above feel its covered under the new warranty, I've been told no way!

I'm also waiting. Talked with Rob Monday, I think it was, and he said another 5-6 days. So it should be any day now. I'm doing a stock flywheel anyhow.

When it's pulled out if it's discolored it's not ok and will need replaced. I would replace it either way though new clutch new flywheel is always best.

Flywheels can generally be reused if the surface shows no evidence of radial microcracks, checking or scoring from overheat or rivet contact. As Jayson noted, new flywheel is always the safest bet.

Part of the reason for this is the high cost of labor for clutch replacement. You don't want to skimp on parts then find out that you have to tear it all apart again, effectively doubling the labor cost.

"Is it the sounds that make a BMW a BMW? A BMW is designed to be heard, felt, experienced. So our engines sing. Our steering talks back. And we insist on offering manual transmissions in nearly all our models for drivers who crave them. The result is an almost telepathic oneness with the car. Just as surely as you can hear a BMW, a BMW hears you."
