Which clutch kit to get?
I just bought a 2010 128i with 101k on it. its going to be a track car 90% of the time but I will need to take the occasional Sunday drive too with it.
My local shop said to get the Valeo kit with the flywheel. I asked about a heavy duty kit and he said not to unless I have a leg of a body builder...which I do not have nor want. Is this a good kit or should I look else where? He said its about 800... Thanks! Garth |

I've been looking at the Valeo single mass kit too. Heard good things about it.
Yeah these cars won't make enough power to blow a clutch so you don't need to get anything fancy. Less exhausting for the track

+1. Went that route one time in a previous Corvette I had. After a few months of leg quivering at red lights, I swapped back for something more tame.

Is the clutch actually bad, or is this preventative maintenance?
A local shop has an E90 328i with a real, no kidding 100k track miles, and it still has the original clutch...
