    The Fatmobile is back on the streets. PICS

    Hey guys.
    My car is back on the streets and drives great. The bent pressureplate was taking away all pleasure from driving.

    Have No idea. Bought it that way. Then had it regenerated and it bent again. It was single mass.
    Now I am running dual mass

    Interested in your input about how that dual mass flywheel works on the e31 (S70 at that). I've heard bad things about dual mass flywheels from the audi guys. Doing lotsa reading about dual mass since I'm prepping for a 6speed conversion on my s8 next year.

    it fits.
    What you need is the flywheel and clutch from a e39 m5. My mechanic did this as he is a v12 guru. Dont know what he did though to make it fit
