I'm not sure how much the stock weight is, but I think most people bring it down to 12 Lbs.

I wouldn't bring it in to your corner transmission store.

Get a phone book and start calling local machine shops and engine builders and you will find a place that can do it. I found a machine shop in my town that did it for $120 (shaved and resurfaced).

Where can I take my stock flywheel to that will shave and balance it?
Will an average joe transmission shop have the know how to lighten a BMW flywheel properly?

I took mine to miami clutch. A big clutch place down here. And they refered me to a machine shop. Just get like 4-5 pounds taken off and get it resurfaced.
