BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

Single mass flywheels can be resurfaced while it is recommended that dual mass flywheels are not.
Dual mass flywheels contain a rubber damper that will wear out, single mass flywheels do not have this and are inherently easier to maintain
Single mass flywheels also provide more consistent clutch feel when compared to the dual mass "self-adjusting" clutch that is notorious for inconsistency.
Valeo's single mass flywheel conversion is designed to be a similar weight and mass to OEM, making it an ideal choice for a daily driver

This kit from Valeo is a simple way to easily convert your stock dual mass flywheel clutch system to a single mass system.

Dual mass flywheels allow for fluid-feeling clutch engagements and offer a more luxurious feel than single-mass flywheels. However, with these benefits come significant drawbacks. Why convert from a dual-mass flywheel to a single-mass flywheel?

Cost: Dual-mass flywheels are expensive, with the cost of replacement often times being double or triple than that of converting to a single-mass flywheel.
Serviceability: Single-mass flywheels can be resurfaced, eliminating the need to replace with the next clutch service. - something that is not recommended with dual-mass flywheels, as they contain a rubber section that is more failure-prone in high mileage application.
Simplicity: Single-mass flywheels lack the complexity of dual-mass flywheels, making them inherently more reliable. Dual-mass flywheels contain a rubber damper or hub that will, like all rubber components, wear out with time.
Pedal Feel: Many enthusiasts prefer to eliminate BMW's "Self Adjusting Clutch", which has been known to provide an unpredictable, inconsistent engagement point.
Driveability: Valeo's conversion kit has been designed to maintain nearly identical clutch and flywheel weight, ideal for keeping the clutch quiet and easy to drive.
Kit contents:

Single-mass flywheel
Non-Self Adjusting Clutch and pressure plate
