Still have a few left, if anyone is interested.

As a heads up, we've been noticing an issue with some E34 models using a weaker spring rate assembly from BMW, the 35311151990 PN.
The spring rate we are using in our assembly replicates the 35311152540 spring.

Depending on your clutch, this might lead to the clutch pedal sticking to the floor from time to time.
If you notice that the spring assembly that is currently in your car (or on your floor) uses the smaller of the two springs, you can switch the original spring into the new assembly.

Just make sure you use loctite on the bottom Allen head screw and use the correct preset length from the assembly instructions.

The difference can be seen in this picture:

Well crap, am I too late by, like, two days then? :cry: Let me know if you either find one sitting around or are thinking of making another run of them because I would happily line up to give you some $$ for it.

(update: thanks 1st 5er for parting with one from your collection! :))

Should've Would've Could've, but I didn't. And of coarse now I need two, one for my e28 and one for my e30....

Hopefully there will be another run?

Unfortunately this is one of the things I won’t be able to do anymore. I could potentially have these made at a minimum batch size of 50 but someone else would have to take care of distribution and making sure they all sell.

If anybody is interested in that, feel free to reach out.

Sorry guys!

I'm using one I bought from the original batch, 6 years ago, in my manual swap on this car: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1988-bmw-735i-14/ :D

It took me just 3 hours to find it!
