    WTF. Where do I buy a single mass flywheel?!

    After discovering today that a previous owner had machined the flywheel down to BELOW minimum spec, I am now faced with the need to blow a #%^* ton more money on a flywheel, in addition to the clutch and bushing job I'm in the middle of. But I can't find anyone that sells a single mass flywheel! Pelicanparts only has a dualmass for the 325i, bimmerworld and Turner only have JB lightweight, and bavauto doesn't even fracking sell flywheels.

    I might be able to justify the JB if I wasn't progressing my car into a track car with the intention of making/keeping it Pro3 legal just in case I work my way to that level over the next few years.

    So, where do I find a stock, single mass flywheel?! Google isn't providing me anything but spam links :(

    I bought mine from the dealer after pelican messed up my order (apparently they thought there was a vin break for m10 flywheels) It was only about $40 more expensive at the dealer.

    autohausAZ might have the single mass too. I am unsure, but the dealer is always an option... lol I know that is horrible to hear.

      Do you need it to be new? There are lots of used ones that pop up on here.

          Not at all. But I do need it soon and don't want to pay half again as much to have someone on the east coast ship a chunk of metal.

          Maybe I'll post someone in the NW section just to see. I figured this was a part no one bothered to keep around.

            Single mass? For a 325i? I'm actually not sure why I ask. Ground shipping from the east coast would be too slow and I can't imagine what 3 or 2 day shipping would be :down:

                  autohausAZ doesn't have flywheels either. And actually, I was wrong about BavAuto, they sell flywheels just not a single mass for a 325i.

                  I'm actually rather puzzled at this point. How come none of the largest BMW suppliers sell a single mass for an E30 325i? And why can't I find a part number for it? RealOEM only lists the dual mass, and Google can't find a single forum post anywhere that mentions a part number for a 325i SM flywheel.

                  Sort of makes me question what I might be buying if I have someone send me this mythical item... That said, I pulled one out of my car, so wtf do I know?

                    Word. Flat rate is like $14 for it.

                          I also have a single mass m20 flywheel I don't need. I'm a bit closer, but I am across the border so it'll take a while to get through customs.
