***Group Buy*** MFactory SMFW and Twin Disk
- Thread starter TurboMike
- Start date
On the DIY here it says 07-08 its 8 bolt and 09+ is 6 bolt???
http://my1series.com/2015/03/23/bmw-335is-550i-clutch-upgrade/
my 135i is an 08. Do you need VIN number by any chance?? It says on Mfactorys website that the VIN will let them know if i need a 6 or 8 bolt flywheel?
How about an updated timeline on shopping dates given the group buy has ended.
I ordered the twin disk 6 puck sprung hub setup for my '08 135i... Thank you
MFactory is gonna get back to me in the next day or two.. Most likely looking early / mid March I believe.

Hey guys,
if you have an 06-Jan 09, then you need the 8-bolt flywheel
If you have a Feb 09+, then you need the 6-bolt flywheel (if it's a 2011+, you need to press out the included centre pin)
For those who ordered the Twin-Disc clutch:
We have the 6-puck solid and 3-puck sprung in stock. Our 6-puck sprung will be around end of April
For installation:
- Make sure to disassemble the clutch/flywheel before installation
- You MUST install the flywheel first. Torque specs for the flywheel bolts are same as oem, as you are re-using the oem bolts (or you can purchase separately. We have them in stock)
- After installing the flywheel, you can then install the clutch (using the provided alignment tool). You can re-use or purchase a new oem throwout bearing from ECS etc
- When installing the clutch cover, this must be flush against the included washers. These washers are there to allow you to adjust the engagement as the clutch discs wear down. Double-check to make sure each washer stack (there are 6 stacks) have the SAME amount of washers, otherwise, this will create more NVH and uneven disc wear
