Need specs for TT bushing?
I have a buddy that can machine billet torque tube bushings for me. I need the specs for these things? He says he thinks it is 12mm thick but not completely sure. Anyone know?

What's the story on your bushings? How old are they? Did you buy from BMW or another vendor?
P.S. I think your clutch is bad....

Actually you are poking fun at it and although it pisses me off it is not you, it is the inferior clutch. I dont think a $1000 clutch should burn up from two 7 second burn outs. I just wonder how all the other M6/M12 vette guys do it 100 times and have no issues. I do it twice and have a flatened clutch disc.

the 97 -2000 TT had 10mm and the 2001 -2004 had 12mm. You can a set from LG or BPP for $130 each.
