Default BMW people in the know? (Clutch and flywheel replacement)

Clutch on the M5 is slipping, I've had a look at various parts and sites so I'm half clued up about the costs, however there seems to be alot of debate about whether the flywheel should be done at the same time as a matter of course but some say this is overkill?
What is your experience of this?

ALWAYS do flywheel at the same time, but thats just me. imagine it starts rattling 2 weeks after doing a clutch since its now gripping more and changes are snappier due to the new computer re-learn process

if its a V10 ive done a few now and there not hard, just takes 3 people to lift the box in/out!

DO NOT remove the release clamps untill you fit it either lol

and will need to re-learn the bite point with a BMW spec computer.

easy job actually
