Hi, I have been doing a lot of research on the flywheel/clutch combo that I might want to use for my m60 with a zf 5 speed swap, I have some questions though. I know that alot of you guys a JB e39 540i flywheel with a 240mm clutchmasters e36 328i clutch. Is this setup to keep cost down since uuc seems a bit expensive. But as of right now the uuc setup for a e39 540i is price comparable.
Opinions? is this a good set up? will it work?:grin:
thanks!

We are using the 328i clutch because it's compatible with the ZF320. The 540i clutch is not. The clutch disc needs to match the trans input shaft.

Somehow that makes perfect sense. !:D
Read so many threads about this.. forgot about the splines not matching
THANKS

I used to have an '03 540i M-Sport II. The only thing I didn't like about that car was the way the clutch felt and how the sloppiness of the shifts.

I used the UUC "Ultimate" setup using the lightened flywheel and the OEM 850i clutch. I installed that at the same time as a UUC shifter and Rogue selector rod. I spent about $3000, but changing gears was just a damn pleasure.

If you go down that route, just make sure you swap the slave with the correct pusher like the instructions say. The shop that installed mine didn't read it and I burned through an $800 clutch aweful fast.

I'm really curious how their twin clutch setup works, seems intriguing.
