For those of you who have replaced/serviced the clutch in your manual trans e60, how much did it cost you and where did you have the work performed? Does anyone know if the e39/e60 M5 clutch setup will work in my 545i?

I actually had a buddy help me do mine. Not very difficult at all. LUckily I didn't need the flywheel, which is the more expensive side, just the pressure plate. I bought it through Tishcer BMW but I don't remember how much. They were by far the cheapest. Good luck. Did by CDV delete at the same time.

Thanks for the input. What model is your e60? Do you regret not doing the flywheel at the same time?

Wow, only $800usd? Thats actually not near as bad as I was thinking, maybe ill email my local dealer for a quote. Thought Id check the forums first though. Is this quote for a V8 e60?
