I have a 540i E60 registered January 2006. The car is superb, a great machine. However, recently had an issue and on the 15th December 2014 it has been diagnosed as needing a Clutch and Dual Mass Flywheel replacement. I am OK with this, but to my surprise I was told by BMW and another two BMW specialist garages, that the parts had to come from Germany ( I live in the UK) and they would arrive 15th January 2015.
I know that because of Christmas & New Year things get delayed, but waiting a whole month I find it incredible. I have been told that the 540i V8 uses different Clutch & Flywheel to other 5 Series. Is this true ?
Does anybody know if these parts for the 540i need to be made ? Is there a stock shortage ?
Is anyone out there with a similar experience ?
Thanks a million.
