Unrelated - I'm not sure which one of your build threads to keep up with
Thanks fellas. Absolutely adore my current combo of vehicles at the moment. Daily driving the 1er and using the 958 to take on weekend adventures and dinner dates is working out perfectly thus far.

According to a few people at VTT, they've ran the 335is/550i clutch for considerable periods of time just below the 600HP/TQ mark without any issues. Considering I am targeting lower numbers than that, only do highway pulls, and don't do hard launches, I think it will be work perfectly for what I'm going for.

If wanted anything more than a somewhat reliable 525-550HP, I'd probably be forced into the SMFW + a beefier clutch combo (and all that comes with it with noise and engagement). The more and more research I do on the Spec Stage 3+ option, the more it seems the quality is hit or miss, and the last thing I want to after installing all of this hardware is to have to go back in and repair something due to quality control issues from a manufacturer.
