If you want, I can send you my old flywheel so you can experiment with machining it. The dual mass mechanism feels ok so could be reused just fine, but I think you'd be better off machining your lower km flywheel and just using mine as a guinea pig.

Thanks for the offer Vince!
I'll let you know once I decide what I'm going to do with clutch upgrade..
Just looking at the pictures it seems relatively easy to grip the flywheel in a 4 jaw with a set of deep set jaws, and skim say 0.5mm off the face to remove the thin layer of the heat affected zone (any blue marks caused by excessive heat)
One thing I'm unsure of if removing thickness from the flywheel has any detrimental effects?
Ideally I would retain oem like driveability, so may go for the proven 550i/oem DMF or possibly motiv if I ever go for upgraded twins or ST...
Currently I'm thinking of just sticking with oem turbos and install inlets and be happy with 320-330 rwkw in a 'street' car.
