Interesting PDF on the S85 and SMGIII

[ecain63]

Just found this and it makes interesting reading. Everything you never knew about the M5 (and a lot about your M6).

That looks like gold thanks Eddie, saved for reading.

I've got the same for a few others, E46 M3, E39 M5 and the normal models too.
Fire me a message with an email address if you want something.

Interesting stuff, especially this bit:

[quote]The power is transmitted from the engine to the gearbox by a dual-mass flywheel supplied by LUK and a two-disc dry clutch supplied by Fichtel und Sachs.

In light of my current woes, if I was to get hold of one each of these items direct from LUK/Sachs or wherever, would BMW fit them and retain the AUC warranty? Do they have to be genuine BMW parts in genuine BMW boxes?

Good stuff-thanks Eddie.
Interesting reading although a lot to take in. Like things like the two electric oil pumps in the sump to get oil from the heads over .8 lateral-g ! Bit different to the morris Minor engines I was brought up on (hope to fk that nothing horrid goes wrong with mine).
