It's not a hard job. Just a bit of a c#$t of a job due to space constraints. If you have the tools, knowledge, and time. You can do it. I did it at a workshop with my mechanic/mate, did it within the night but it came with its share of curse words and cuts.

It did not end well. There was several months of delays and issues getting the SMFW and ceramic clutch in my hands. The end product was not what I was sold and it still had problems and not performing the way it should. It is currently slipping already and it will be ripped out in the coming weeks once I return from my Sydney/Melbourne trip. It was pretty disappointing, what made matters worst is that the suppliers have ceased contact. I will not name them for the time being.
Sorry for the lack of updates guys. I have been meaning to finish it for quite some time now and I have made my attempts. I am just lacking the motivation, the pictures are uploaded, I have already story boarded it, and it is half typed at home. I will try to commit to finishing it soon. The car has been transformed recently with further changes both cosmetically and mechanically. It is currently punching out 420RWHP on 100% E85.
It will also be featured on BMW Car Magazine in the UK in the coming weeks. I can't comment too much on this but once the magazine is on the shelves I can post a few more things.
Here is the dyno anyway:
