Default E30 flywheel question

I'm doing a clutch in an 86 325e. The car came with the new clutch. I got the tranny out and discovered it had a dual mass flywheel with an unsprung hub clutch. The clutch kit that came with the car has a sprung hub disc so it wont work with the dual mass flywheel. We found a single mass flywheel for an E30 M3. Will it work with the 2.7L I6 in the 325?

Thanks,
Frankie

I dont think it will work. But I am not certian. The M3 is a 4 cly car and I would imagine that the tabs- triggers on the side of the fly wheel for the ecu would be wrong. The ETA engine gets its TDC - crank postion off the flywheel. So you need to be sure the magnets in the flywheel are in the same place. Then also make sure the bolt pattern is the same and the teeth count is the seam for the starter.
