Shops want to make a certain amount of money from a job. If it’s not on both parts and labor, then they should charge more for labor. They also may not warranty labor on any customer supplied parts.

Well, this simply does not hold true since mine was not abused, bought new and failed prematurely. I know of at least five other people who also didn't abuse theirs and had premature fails. My reply was correct and rightful. You cannot just add words to what he posted after the fact when my reply to him had already posted. And so, I have no interest in debating your cognitive issue further, i'll just ignore you and you'll only know more what i think for it. Good day. |

1700 + 700 + 800 = $3200 + tax to replace flywheel and clutch in your 08 ? And that assumes Indy. If dealer probably $5k+ |

2008 here (not sure of build date) but I'm pretty sure I have the old DMFW. 75k miles, driven like an M should be driven (but never tracked) and the clutch seems to be fine. Never had it slip, ever.

Note that some OEM suppliers (Baer, Valeo, Zimmerman, TRW, Mahle, etc.) do sell without BMW logo at a lower cost as they do not have to add licensing costs. Same part, just no logo. You have to be familiar with the brands to know what you're getting.

I like single flywheel which is mostly an upgraded version for dual mass for most cars. I like the sound it makes also. There are plenty of clutches that you can buy and upgrade it just itself. Dual mass for people who doesn't like that clanky sound when you dont push the clutch peddal.

No, I’ll do it myself. Cost me just the lowest price I find online for good quality parts.

This is similar to rod bearings - the vast majority will last a very long time even though there is the occasional failure. These are not mutually exclusive - there can be both early failures and in general, a high level of reliability. That said, let's keep this debate healthy and void of personal insults Last edited by EricSMG; 07-21-2018 at 10:15 AM.. |

That's the way to go. I would do it myself too if I had a lift altough you don't need one but it makes things safer and easier. Investing in your own shop takes years to amortize and you don't get the warranty you get from a mechanic. Depending on how valuable your own time is, at the end all these things add up and you are not just paying for parts. But it's got to be very rewarding.
