jvictormp I'm installing an aftermarket clutch, tho I think it's running an OEM pressure plate (LUK). I haven't removed my old clutch yet, but the captured disc in my new clutch is 7mm off center, and will need to be aligned. And so today I learned the BMW wants two special tools just for the pressure plate, one to lock the self adjusting mechanism during install, the other to depress the pressure plate fingers so the captured disc can be aligned. According to my TIS they're 212170 and 212180.

I could probably rig up something myself from stuff in the garage + some Home Depot trips, but I figured the lost time was worth more than the cost of the below, so I ordered a set. I'll be installing mine in a couple days, will report back on the tools' performance after I'm done.
