BMW does not have. Had this coupe since 1975. I love it. Any suggestions where I might purchase clutch parts?

There are lots of independent suppliers.
autohausaz.com
penskeparts.com
partsgeek.com
fcpgroton.com
bmwmobiletradition-online.com
bimmerdoc.com
One thing to know about the aftermarket is that a lot of guys appear to use the same wholesale service. If you start seeing the same interface over and over, your supplier is using the same wholesaler and parts prices will vary by only a little.
Look around - prices can vary quite a bit.
Sometimes a vendor has a sale but only with luck will you actually need the part they're selling.
The cheapest vendor may not be the best supplier - you have to factor in price of shipping.
It's good to know the brand of part you are ordering. Most internet suppliers also have an 800 number you can call and verify brand. For instance a Brand X clutch would be a risky purchase at any price, over a F&S clutch.

I have a Valeo kit in mine and works great and is inexpensive if you shop around, get the kit that includes the throwout and pilot bearings and alignment tool like this:

If you read German and can afford the shipping and VAT, try Walloth and Nesch at

It returns a "page not found" error message, yet the page does come up.
