Hello Everyone!
My clutch finally gave up. The car has done 80,000 kms. So I took the opportunity and decided to get a little maintenance done as well.
Below is the parts list.
21212283089 Clutch 1 (Sachs)
23117564680 Guide Bush 1
21511223328 Ball pin 1 (Comes with the clutch kit)
21517570284 Spring Clip 1 (Comes with the clutch kit)
21517848830 Clutch release bearing 1 (Comes with the clutch kit)
07129905539 ISA Screw 9 (Use the originals if they are stainless steel)
21511223302 Clutch release fork lever 1
21212229955 Flywheel 1 (Luk)
11211720310 Grooved ball bearing 1
11211736881 Dowell 1
23017838938 Clutch slave cylinder 1
23017837428 Clutch position sensor 1
61366901469 SMG Pump relay 1 (Black)
12631742690 Transmission Pump relay 1 (Red)
11217838071 Shaft seal 1
83220309031 Oil for manual transmission MTF LT-2 3 Liters (BMW recommends a change interval of 3 engine oil changes, which is like 60k, kms. The change interval for the diff oil is the same. From now on, I will change it every year.)
17212283111 Oil Strainer SMG 1 (Not necessary to replace. Old one can be cleaned and used again)
07119963300 Gasket ring SMG 4
CHF-11S SMG Fluid 2

Exhaust, heat shields and drive shaft need to come off before we can have some fun.
The old flywheel, used very well obviously.
The clutch also used very well.
Bell housing with the clutch off.
New clutch and flywheel.
Bell housing prepped with new parts.
New clutch and flywheel ready to go in.
Installed.
Drain plug for the transmission oil.
This is what came out. Wish I had changed it earlier. Added to my annual maintenance schedule.
Transmission oil strainer with all the crap on it.
All cleaned up and ready to go in.
Ran the adaptations and the transmission will not adapt. Kept getting the below error.
Diagnosis. The heat from the exhaust burned these cables and the transmission sensor and cable is fried. Most probably short circuit.
The solution. New valve body complete with everything. You cannot buy the wiring and sensor from BMW. OUCH! This thing is expensive. I had the option to get a used one from eBay, but decided I will put my money on a new one.
So, off comes the tranny again and we get to heat insulate that prick as much as possible. Below will give a fair idea of what we did. Hopefully, it will last a little longer this time.
How it looks like all done.
Fix everything up and run the adaptations again and everything goes smooth.
Now to the boring task of breaking in the clutch for 1000 kms. BMW recommends 1000 shifts at moderate rpms and load.

Once again oceans of gratitude to the team at Octane. Great workmanship and ingenuity.
