Product Information
Genuine replacement dual mass flywheel, includes flywheel bolts
For best clutch engagement, your flywheel must be smooth and true (not warped). If not smooth, it may be possible to resurface the flywheel, but if your flywheel is warped, it must be replaced. Whenever replacing your clutch (or when the transmission is removed from the engine) it is always best to review the condition of all parts including the clutch and flywheel.
A clutch flywheel is a heavy, circular metal disc (usually made of steel or cast iron) mounted on the rear of the engine’s crankshaft in manual transmission vehicles. It plays a key role in both engine operation and clutch engagement.
Clutch Flywheel Failure Symptoms- Clutch slippage or poor engagement – worn or damaged flywheel surface reduces grip.
- Vibrations or shuddering – felt when engaging the clutch due to hot spots, warping, or cracks.
- Difficulty starting the engine – damaged flywheel teeth prevent the starter motor from engaging properly.
About Genuine BMW
The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.
You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
