It was only a couple hundred bucks. They send you a measurement chart and what not to fill out that you package with your driveshaft. But like I said you’d have to call turner or maybe find a local shop that deals with them to help you out with that.
The shift lever is the same part number only in some instances. The sedans share the same part number as the 8 but the coupes have a different number, I am not sure of the significance. I use etk.cc for this. You can look at diagrams that are very nice and view all the part numbers spanning every market bmws are available so you can compare European to domestic to Japanese, etc. So I would play around with that before assuming it fits.
The clutch I don’t know. The crank trigger wheel should not matter but the only thing I’d be worried about is some stupid unforeseen difference like the thickness of the flywheel compared to a V8 one even if they are the same diameter. As in the spacing of the contact surface relative to the clutch might be different for some reason or whatever. I’ve never tried it. If it were me you can get a Luk flywheel and clutch kit from rock auto for extremely cheap, I don’t understand how they even make money. But it would be worth a try if you maybe had one to compare it to before bolting it on.
