Here's the pics of the flywheel I had lightened and balanced along with a new pressure plate here in Seattle. After tax it cost $220 to take it from 14lbs to 11.5lbs, kind of disappointing. If anybody else is looking at this, I think the 8lb aluminum wheels for $400 are a better deal if you're comparing dollars to pounds lost. You can see they took a decent amount from the outside, which is the best place to lose the weight.
It was a spare flywheel I had, and the car needed at least a new pilot bearing, so it was a good thing to do. First gear seems to pull a little better, but I didn't notice anything else in the relatively short drive I took it on. This technically belongs in the transmission section, but I like having all things early 318i related in the m10 section.
