The factory BMW S55 dual-mass flywheel is engineered with comfort in mind, catering to the luxury-oriented expectations of the brand’s driving experience. Its design focuses on dampening drivetrain vibrations, smoothing out gear transitions, and minimizing harshness during operation. However, this refinement costs valuable performance. The dual-mass flywheel adds a substantial 26.5 lbs of rotational mass to the drivetrain, which significantly hinders throttle response and makes rev-matching feel sluggish and disconnected. Moreover, dual-mass flywheels are notorious for being a weak link in modified or high-performance builds and can prove costly to replace when they inevitably fail.

Our Single-Mass Lightweight Flywheel Conversion addresses all of these shortcomings with a purpose-built, lightweight, single-mass design that prioritizes performance. Weighing in at only 18.5 lbs., this design significantly reduces rotational mass, allowing your S55 to achieve its true motorsport potential!

Features & Benefits:

Precision machined from 4140 HT heat-treated chromoly steel for exceptional toughness, even wear properties, and increased durability.
Material quality promotes even wear across the entire friction surface, prolonging component lifespan.
Heat treated to HRC 28-32, tempered to relieve stress and improve dimensional stability.
Hardness improves component wear characteristics.
Black oxide coated for corrosion resistance on non-friction surfaces.
Precision balanced to exceed OEM specification (G16 spec to 175g-mm).
SFI 1.1 certified to ensure safe operation under extreme operating conditions.
Specifically designed to work with S55 OE-architecture clutches.
Optimized step height maximizes clutch clamp load and offers a prolonged service life.
Performance:

10 lbs. lighter than the factory BMW flywheel!
OEM Dual-Mass: 26.5 lbs.
Turner Motorsport Single-Mass: 18.5 lbs.
Faster revs
Improved throttle response and acceleration
Allows for a more engaging driving experience and delivers a feeling of direct connection
Installation:

Flywheel Hardware: For added peace of mind, apply Blue or Orange Loctite when installing factory flywheel bolts that do not come with pre-applied threadlocker.

This kit includes a replacement flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing, and more. Please note that a lightened single mass flywheel may result in some "NVH" or "chatter" during operation, which can be influenced by accompanying modifications.

For complete install kits, discover ES3469345 and ES4067131, exclusively at ECS Tuning.

Installation Details:

• Flywheel bolts (M10x19.5): Tightening torque 90 Nm, Thread lock red.
• Pressure plate (M7x26): Tightening torque 20 Nm.

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.
