Can anyone confirm for me which pilot & throwout bearing for g260 and e36 clutch

[haaken675]

Hey guys. I have been searching and searching for my answer and am at a bit of a standstill I am planning on using my g260 with the e36 clutch, pressure plate, and lightweight flywheel I have which from my research should work. I have the matching e36 throwout and pilot bearing.

I remember reading somewhere that I may need to use a g260 throwout bearing or pilot bearing, potentially both. can anyone confirm which combo I need?

I was hoping to start putting the motor in this weekend and I am already tired of buying duplicated parts.

Thanks

You can use the E30 one, as I did.

If you have the deep bellhousing G260, you can use Sachs P/N 21511204525 which is a 30mm bearing and will make up the difference.

my car is an '87 is, so I believe it is a "shallow" bellhousing. Do you need the e30 pilot bearing as well? I ask because I have a throwout bearing and pilot bearing that came with my clutch kit, but they are for the e36, and I don't know how to cross compare if they are the same or not. Surprisingly google doesn't understand my question, lol...

I swapped a 24v into an 87 is (G260) using:
- Pilot bearing for M20 (11211709934)
- Clutch kit from 24v
The throwout bearing for E30 and E36 is the same. Pro-tip: you can use RealOEM to check applications for any part: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/partxref?q=21517521471

Thank you! I guess I should have checked realoem, but I have gone through so many lately I didn't even think to look for some reason.
