Dual mass flywheel / rear main seal question

[BimmerWill]

The only thing I'm concerned with is that some of the things I've read about the flywheels is that if you don't replace them with a new clutch due to buildup and wear on them they can mess up the new clutch in a rather short period of time and that would completely defeat the purpose of me doing it if its simply going to mess up the new clutch. I don't plan on getting rid of the vehicle even if I were to buy a new one. She's beginning to show just a tad bit of rust in some of the undercarriage but nothing to be alarmed about. Everything seems pretty solid and I feel like if something were to happen to the motor after next year it would give me the opportunity to do something really cool with it. I guess I'll see what things look like when I get in there.

If you have plans to keep it for a long time, replace it, IMO. Others may disagree.

To address this issue, my tech friend runs some kind of brush over the flywheel surface to get that "stuff" off. He has never had an issue doing that.
