The tool shown in the LSD/Clutch write up I followed to change my clutch didn't have the entire part # listed. I just got off the phone with my new friend @ the Mini dealership in Palm Harbor in FL and he ordered it for me.. the tool is $61, and he charged me an extra $6 (only, weird, i know) for overnight shipping from their warehouse, but i'll have to pick it up from the dealership

Actual, entire, BMW part # is:

83300494345

this differs from the #s that I've seen else where and from what I am able to make out on the tool in the pic. I'll take a pic of mine when it comes in tomorrow and post it..

here's the pic that K-Huevo used in his write up:

I will DEFINITELY keep them for future reference, thanks!

Unfortunately, they do not have that shifter linkage tool...
