Hi,
I'm a "newbie" I guess. Anyway I am on the hunt for a clutch kit and perhaps a pivot bearing for a 1995 BMW 540i E34 series V-8 6 spd. Have found a couple but tres expensive!!! Would anyone have any suggestions. Oh yeah it probably doesn't help that I am in Canada Kamloops BC to be exact. Anyway suggestions appreciated. Thanks John B

Hi John. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I forgot about your email in my box because I read it when I was tied up. I have the information on the BMW e34 540i clutch kit that you were looking for and I will post a link to the site at the end of this post. I did call the company to inquire about shipping to Canada and I guess they use a company called Bongo or something. I called them and basically they need to know the weight and dimensions to give a accurate quote for shipping but it looks like either way, it is going to be expensive. For me to send a 30lb box at 24"x24"x12" to your postal code, it would cost me approximately $150.00. Hope this helps you out...

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your help, I have never heard of "Bongo" Perhaps they use UPS to Canada??

Also I have been advised to change the "Pivot Bearing" at the same time which I guess makes some sense. I tried to find out what the "Autoparts" clutch kit consisted of but I guess I'm a bit of a clutz at finding my way around . Hopefully I will get better, heck I even had trouble finding your "post" and I am still trying to figure out "threads" etc.

Also I was thinking maybe a service manual might be a good idea, looking around I see they retail for around $60.00. What do you think? Any suggestions?
Thanks again for your great help!!
