Holy crap! Just got my car back fromt he mechanic and I have to say this new single plate is the best decision I've made for this car in a LONG while.

Drives like a stocker with only slightly heavier pedal feel, almost 3400lb clamp and a carbonite clutch plate surface that seems to work great.

It wasn't insanely expensive either.

I'm also now totally sold on Redline Lightweight.

All in all, a very happy day. Roll on the 30th!!!

Awsome clutch's, Had a 3800pound one made for the drag Silvia, felt so much like a stock one, I could still drive through Brisbane city. Also had a little 2200pound one put into my stocko Silvia.

Adrian, can I ask how much you pay'd for the 3400lb clutch?

Yes you are a cheesy poof! :)

You told me the clutches were the shit but I was convinced I should get one from a lot of advice and experience that Paul and Stace have had with theirs.

Oh..... SO NUURRRR!!!!!

As for how much I paid for it - including the Smurf Blood and fitting, it was just under $1400.00

About $1000 exchange including shipping and machining my old flywheel.

Still getting used to it but the car is running slightly quicker mph (approx 2mph) for some reason. Probably cos the tyres have worn down lots :) :) :)

I know that when you look at a clutch you shouldn't make judgements on how it should perform but I'm telling you it 'looks' impressive.

Only one way to find out mate :)

    • This thread keps giving with the OMG!
    • A quick google, and some E39 users have found pulling my sensor out/apart and cleaning it alleviates their issue. Then get the oil warning to go off, and once it is off (from the sensor saying it was unhappy) some find they can just unplug it and it is happy to just keep going now. Maybe give it a crack? If you can actually pull the sensor apart, hit it with some electrical contact cleaner.
    • Yep. In the E39 it's slightly different than the others. Honestly I'd just leave it but every time I drive the car it tells me oil is low and that just makes me check the dipstick. It is a BMW Afterall and it tries to expel it's own oil regularly.  Thankfully it's not like my E90 that has no dipstick at all so you just gotta trust it. 
    • Was that also a typo? $350?! Just typing "BMW oil level sensor" and prices start out a lot more sanely than $350. I'm guessing it's a sensor used in one low volume model only or something?
    • They kept the product number the same, so we "didn't pick it up when packing your order". If you packed the order, you clearly saw the box wasn't Hella...
