Yes thanks. Actually now I have two. I got the bushing socket and it came with one pretty installed.

Wait, a DSSR for a 318is? I couldn't find one, and I want one

I had work today but got the pilot bearing tool. I research the bread method and it worked like a charm. Only took a slice and a half of white bread. I used the BMW plastic tool and just used the Dremel to cut of the ring which you use to pull. Then used the 2.5lb hammer and about 25 good smacks it popped. Cleaned out the inside and then added the new BMW pilot bearing using a 22mm long socket and a regular hammer to tap it in. The old one was ok but it wasn't smooth like the new one.

Here it is installed. Next up is the FW install with clutch kit.

I looked but there's only G260 and M3 suited ones.
Link me? I was going to go custom cause I couldn't find any

It's the DSSR215. I see if you look at the DSSR section, it's not there. I found it when selecting the SSK and then adding the DSSR215. Here is screen shot using my phone.

I have been traveling for the last 2 weeks so everything went on hold. Today I went by to pick up the flywheel from the machine shop. All looks good and then when I came home, I did a mock up before I send it out for lightening/balance/resurfacing.

All fits like a glove. The machine show which is only 10 blocks from my house was about to remove the ring from the m42 flywheel and add it to the m20 one. They did have to shave a little from the diameter of the m20 fw. Then I requested they add the 8mm TDC and 180 degree TDC holes so I can still use my flywheel lock pin. With this, I can use my m42 starter and no modification needed. Also, no need to buy the m20 start. The lightening/resurface cost will surely be more expensive than what I paid.

One thing to note is that the spacer plate that needs to be removed from the m42 flywheel by drilling through the rivets, will need one hole widen to fit the rear crank hub guide. The TDC hole is the one in between the two dimples on the inner hole.

Monday I take it to the clutch place. Will keep cleaning items ans start to work on the seals for the transmission. I am in town for the next month so I really hope I can finish it by then.

Here is a picture of the m42 fw on the left, the loose m20 ring gear, the spacer with the widen hole and the m20 flywheel, with TDC marks and the ring gear installed.

Something to note, the new BMW provided m20 flywheel bolts already come with yellow threadlocker applied.

Today I installed my lighten, about 3 lbs, resurfaced and rebalanced m20 flywheel. I installed it with stock BMW m20 bolts. Torqued it to factory spec. It is nice to have the flywheel lock pin to hold it in. THen I installed the ClutchMasters stage1 m20 clutch kit with new BMW torx bolts. Torqued that to spec as well. Just need to finish cleaning up the bellhousing and replacing the seals, and replace the ATF.
