hmmmm, I never heard that SMG requires flywheel to be replaced at the same time.
However, it's relatively inexpensive so good idea to replace everything while replacing the clutch.

I added whole thing and still comes out $590. and like I mentioned, you can receive 25% off from Gary which is about $442.
So.. I'm sure there are some few parts missing here and there but the most expensive parts are covered already so I can't see how can it be $1280??

). I checked link you send me there it's same think, I think you can buy just a clutch for 545i SMG not for 550i SMG.

I would like to buy the Clutch and Flywwheel and take it to a local shop. or if someone can recommmend a shop with decent labor prices that has worked on SMG clutch replacement.
Thanks

it's not just a set price. They need to see the car and see what needs to be replaced. I don't want to quote you a price and when you go it's higher. Have them check it first. Tell them John with the HIDs sent you and they'll take care of you. I am there a lot too. Feel free to call me when ur going and see if I'm there.

OMG what an idiot ! It hurts to see the clutch like that, I had same problem but a bit even worse ! dont do anything stupid with ur car. Drive it like u drive a 1 billion car dude. Its too expensive for me in the heart to see the car broken.
