I have had many BMWs but this is my first M3 so I am still learning the quirks of the car. I seem to have the quite the clunking when letting out the clutch. I know that this is a characteristic of M3 but it sounds worse than I think it should. It seems to me that is probably the dual mass flywheel but I was wondering if someone who knows their way around the M3 would be willing to help me out with the diagnosis. Pulling the tranny and changing the clutch is no small undertaking but if I need to do it I will. But I would like someone to confirm that it is really problem or if not let me know that it is just a quirk of the car. 2002 M3 with 91K. I posted looking for opinions on the purchase. The PPI did not identify this as an issue so I am wondering if I really need to sort it out or not. If someone is interested in helping me please PM me.
I am located in Severn.
Thanks
Art

My E46 M3 does not exhibit any sort of clunk when the clutch is released. Maybe bad PP or TOB.... all guesses. Can you share a video so that we can *hear* this clunk?
