Single Mass Flywheel for BMW 3 Series E30 (1984-1991)

Lightweight flywheel for quicker, effortless revs that improve throttle response and free up lost horsepower. Tested and approved by our engineering team at Turner Motorsport. Tested in early, late, ETA and IS model E30s for confirmed fitment.

Introducing our Turner Flywheel: an ingenious blend of lightweight design, rich features, and remarkable strength! Crafted from 4140 HT Steel, this flywheel is precision-machined from a solid piece, ensuring unmatched durability. By strategically trimming excess weight from its original design, we've achieved a significant reduction in weight, giving new life to your M20 engine. With upgraded efficiency, your M20 can now swiftly spin to high RPMs, unleashing the full power and prowess of this formidable engine. Our flywheel features a ring gear profile compatible with all starters, alongside a reference tab tailored for early cars equipped with bellhousing-mounted sensor crank position detection.

Do you have an early model transmission with the crank sensors on the bellhousing? Maybe you have a late 325is with the crank sensor on the front of the engine, or maybe you have a 1988 super ETA. No matter which E30 model you have, our flywheel is the perfect choice for you.

During the engineering process we encountered the full spectrum of M20 and flywheel combinations. Early cars with bellhousing crank sensors, late cars with front mounting crank sensors and even a super ETA. On this adventure we found both early and late single mass flywheels and even the dual mass that we thought for sure was just a myth. At first we were hesitant that we could make one flywheel to fit them all but with the persistence of our engineering team(fleet of E30 enthusiasts) we can proudly say our M20 flywheel does in fact fit all engine and transmission applications you can think of.

Adapt an N54 or N55 GS6-53BZ transmission to your M5x/S5x engine to unlock superior torque capacity and optimized gear ratios.

Engineered for the BMW enthusiast who demands more strength and better gear ratios, the Turner Motorsport Transmission Swap Flywheel Kit provides a direct solution for mating a modern N54 or N55 6-speed gearbox to your M20, M5X, or S5X engine. This kit bridges the gap between generations, allowing you to run a high-capacity GS6-53BZ transmission without the typical fabrication nightmares.

The technical core of this kit is our dual-geometry flywheel. By utilizing this specialized design, you can retain your engine-side stock starter while using the factory clutch and throw-out bearing from your donor transmission. This ensures a precise fit and a firm, factory-like shifting feel that can handle significantly more power than older 5-speed setups. To guarantee a fitment, we’ve included a precision drill guide for bellhousing alignment and a universal pilot bearing pin to simplify the installation process.

Features and benefits:

Compatible with the starter from your original motor.
Uses factory clutch and throwout bearing from the donor transmission (GS6-53BZ).
Comes with necessary tools and a provided drill guide to adapt the top transmission mounting holes.
