The factory BMW flywheel is a 2 piece design that mitigates vibration and creates a comfortable driving experience. A single piece aftermarket flywheel will allow the engine to rev quicker and gives shifting a much more direct and mechanical feel. This also makes clutch modulation on spirited takeoffs much easier and more predictable and is a must if you plan on tracking or competing in your BMW.
Aluminum flywheels are much lighter than the stock steel flywheel and that produces better throttle response and more available horsepower to the wheels for faster acceleration.
These kits feature a non-SAC mechanism pressure plate, which , deviating from the original design, provides a lighter rotating assembly, higher rpm capability and greater clamp load levels. Required for the install is a billet rebuildable flywheel that features a lightweight, low MOI design and infinite rebuildability. The billet aluminum flywheel weighs 14lbs, and billet steel 22 lbs.
