E63 M6 clutch and flywheel cost?

[t7mbo]

Looking at buying a E63 m6 V10 as a keeper, as I just don't think we will ever see an engine like this again in the future.
I had a 2006 model about 5 years ago and despite the fuel consumption, loved it to bits!
Did have a new clutch, flywheel and release fitted under warranty, however!
So if I bought one now for say 22 / 23 k it looks an absolute bargain to put away and use every now and again.
In my mind I am assuming any car I buy will need a new clutch to make it perfect, so how much will I pay a good independant for a new clutch, supplied and fitted?
Thanks in advance!

flywheel here

Knock another 5% off the above if you buy through topcashback and have it delivered to your home

plus perhaps £50 for a new guide tube, pivot pin and bolts from the main dealer

And then £4-500 in labour

Change the clutch position sensor too

£316 BMW part only

Slave cylinder as well. The piston sealing o-rings tend to dry fail after a while and dump your SMG hydraulic fluid into the bell housing. If you get much of that on the clutch disc...it probably is toast. Transmission has to come out to replace it anyway, so it just makes sense to do it with the clutch.

Good shout!

Reading your stuff on m5board, Jim. Truly great and insightful! Much appreciated!

Sounds like £2k at least

Adding a thought here:

The flywheel is not a guaranteed replacement item. I've seen quite a few cars that the flywheel was fine and was reused without problem. The only reason to replace it would be if there are any "hot spots" on its surface due to extreme clutch wear. If the surface isn't damaged, there's no reason to replace it. Unlike conventional flywheels, the dual mass arrangement makes the flywheel impossible to machine accurately to resurface the wear face without disassembly of the flywheel itself.
