Ok, well here is the deal, My clutch right now in my 93 325is is worn down, because at high Revs. it just slips
Anyhow, I am thinking of buying the 95 M3 Clutch Kit, from bimmerparts.com looks like a good buy, because of the lowest price. 245$ for the kit, not bad ?

Well, the kit only includes Cluth, Throw out bearing, and Pressure Plate. No flywheel. I have read and heard that M3 clutch would go perfectly fine into any 93-95 325is, with no hassle ? (correct me if i am wrong) Well my question is, I will still be running the stock 325is Flywheel will the M3 clutch kit, still be a good idea to purchase ? I am not sure if the Clutch would still fit in properly with a 325is Flywheel, or would i need to purchase a M3 Flywheel aswell for the install to work ? Please help, i need to make my decision to either purchase this M3 clutch kit or the 325is Clutch kit instead..

Only reason i want this M3 clutch kit is for future performance upgrade and when i have enough money saved up i want to get the "UUC 11.6# Classsic E36 Flywheel" and that requires the M3 clutch.. Thanks in Advance.

You need a M3 flywheel too, the M3 clutch won't bolt up to the 325 flywheel.

ok then.. kool thanks for the help.. btw, u are using the TMS intake setup ? i was wondering does ur hood close perfectly, with the weather strip protection (that rubber thing that goes on the top of the heat shield)..

reason i ask this, is because i have the TMS aswell and when i put hte weather strip thing, my hood doesnt close properly, hte hood pops up a bit.. and i tried adjusting the spring and everything but still no use ? thanks.
