Honestly I think it will help in the long run since the solid one is resurfaceable, unline the dual mass.
There are a few ways to do it, the e30 crowd likes to use the single mass m20 flywheels and starter - not too sure what is all required but its a cheaper way to get a single mass lightened flywheel.

Another option is go with one that is made for the m44 but normally those are expensive.

Lastly you can look into just using a m3 clutch kit with a light weight flywheel. Here is link with some info (a search should bring up a good amount of info):

I hope to do the same thing when my clutch dies.
