  1. Thanks for all the responses everyone - the 73 Clymer repair book only covers so much 😆 No idea how many miles are on the car let alone the clutch- I only drove it home the day I bought it in 2013, and up and down the street a few times sorting out the carbs, etc. I considered reusing the clutch, but ultimately just don't want to take all this stuff off again to get to it. Always the dilemma when you pull a transmission. Already fighting the urge to have Ireland lighten the flywheel - had a single mass on my 85 535i after converting from automatic to manual and it was so much fun!
  2. That make sense about the flywheel Toby. Thanks for doing a lil recon- yeah it seems to be the pressure plate that is out of stock currently unless I were to consider the overpriced genuine BMW one. The one I pulled off the car was from 1988 so I probably shouldn't put it back in. Thanks again for the insight
  3. 1972 BMW 2002 in Tulsa I'm replacing my Getrag 232 4 speed (blown 2nd gear synchro) with a Getrag 242 4 speed out of an e21 320i. Car had a 215mm Sachs clutch on it. Have checked all the parts suppliers (Ireland/Blunttech/Pelican/BW/YADA YADA) and everyone seems to only have the 228 clutches and kits available. So is it crazy to ask whether these are interchangeable? Would I need a different flywheel? Or was this combination found on another car that I might be able to source the 215mm clutch from? Spent a lot of time on here and the internet trying to find an answer. TIA and please don't suggest a 5 speed swap- this is what I'm working with. -Nate
  4. To answer your first question, been ordering Volvo parts from them for years and they've recently started a push to only carry reputable higher quality OE suppliers (ie more Meyle/Lemforder, less URO)
  5. Haven't had them on an 02 but I've been running Falken 512's on my e28 (205/50/r15) for years now- great dry grip and have surprisingly good grip in the rain for the 1st half of treadlife then they can get a little dicey under power when wet. Though it's barely a 30,000 mile tire regardless of what advertisers state for that tire size. Might be longer in 195/60/r14 size
  6. Personally it's my dream coupe second only to an e9, and it's well known that they share a lot of stuff with the e28. And it's probably more cheaper to maintain than an e9. There's been discussion on mye28 that certain members don't care for the driving position in the e24 compared to the e28 but those body lines sure are addicting. The biggest issues I've heard about e24's are they have a slightly different HVAC including a separate ac for the rear seats that can be troublesome to repair and they obviously wear suspension bits faster than smaller coupes out there. Those m30's will run forever if taken care of and are an absolute blast!
  7. Very Cool, I will definitely be in touch next time I venture out that way.
  8. Or they can grab mine in southeast Ohio. I may take one of you guys up on this as I make quite a few trips out to Pittsburgh from Baltimore and I can definitely free up some trunk space in my e28.
