BMW Drivetrain Parts for MINI

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.

If your MINI is only for competition use - autocross, time trial, or racing - this OS Giken LSD may be a better option than the standard 1.5-way unit. This race-spec LSD was developed over several seasons of competitive autocross. It uses a new high pressure ring for quicker response time and faster lockup. This makes it ideal for quick transitions and rapid on/off throttle motions typically encountered on the track. It's a one-way lockup so the car stays predictable under braking and gives the driver more feedback. For street use we prefer the normal 1.5-way setup because it's more progressive during lockup.

The biggest shortcoming of any MINI is not the lack of power - it's being able to put all of its useable power to the ground! The Cooper S is basically a one-wheel drive car and sending 200+ hp through that one tire does not live up to its full potential. A limited-slip differential is essential to any highly-tuned FWD car. The OS Giken Super-Lock is one of the most advanced clutch-type differentials on the market, and a favorite of autocrossers and road racers. The OS LSD for the MINI features ten clutch discs for a smooth and progressive lockup. By putting all of your available power to the ground you're at an instant advantage over the stock open-type differential. You'll be able to power through corners and on rough surfaces instead of uselessly spinning a wheel. Understeer is reduced by giving more bite to the tire that has the most traction. With an LSD in your MINI Cooper S you'll wonder why it wasn't first on your list to begin with (or why MINI/BMW left it out in the first place...).

The MNI OS Giken LSD uses a special 80W250 fluid that must be purchased separately.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2002-2006 R53 MINI MINI Cooper S (6MT manual transmission only)
2007-2013 R56 MINI MINI Cooper S (6MT manual transmission only)

The factory dual-mass flywheel in W11-powered MINI Coopers was designed with comfort in mind—minimizing drivetrain vibration and delivering smoother shifts. However, this focus on refinement comes at a performance cost. The hefty 27 lbs. of rotational mass dulls throttle response, slows acceleration, and makes rev-matching more difficult. Dual-mass flywheels are also known to be less reliable in tuned or modified setups and can be expensive to replace when they fail.

ECS Tuning developed their Lightweight Single-Mass Flywheel to address these issues with a performance-focused alternative. Weighing in at just 17 lbs., this flywheel sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass compared to the OEM unit—transforming throttle response, acceleration, and clutch feel for a more engaging and dynamic driving experience.

**This flywheel is to match with a factory type or aftermarket NON Dampened clutch kit!** MINIs factory set up engagement is dampened by the dual mass flywheel. This will be a little more aggressive engagement of the clutch over the stock factory set up as they system in not dampened!! Can be used from daily to the track days.

Key Features:

Manufactured from 4140 Chromoly Steel Heat-treated and tempered for exceptional strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Optimized Hardness (HRC 28–32) Ensures consistent performance and durability under extreme conditions. Precision-Balanced to G16 Standard (175 g-mm) Exceeds OEM balance requirements for smooth, high-RPM operation. Black Oxide Finish Provides effective corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance. SFI 1.1 Certified Validated for safe use in high-performance and racing environments. Direct Fit Engineered to work seamlessly with OE-style clutch kits designed for the W11 engine architecture.

The factory dual-mass flywheel in MINI N14 and N18 engines is engineered for comfort, minimizing drivetrain vibrations and smoothing out gear transitions. However, that comfort comes at a price—28.3 lbs. of rotational mass that dulls throttle response, slows acceleration, and hampers precise rev-matching. Dual-mass flywheels are also notoriously prone to failure under high-performance or tuned driving conditions, and their replacement costs can be steep.

The ECS Performance Lightweight Flywheel Kit eliminates these compromises with a precision-engineered, single-mass flywheel that delivers true enthusiast-grade performance. Weighing in at just 18.8 lbs, this flywheel sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass compared to OEM—instantly sharpening throttle response, improving clutch feel, and delivering quicker acceleration that transforms the driving dynamics of your MINI.

Performance-Oriented Design: This flywheel is specifically engineered to work with OE and aftermarket unsprung clutch discs. While dual-mass setups provide damping on stock vehicles, switching to a single-mass flywheel with an unsprung disc introduces more direct engagement—ideal for spirited daily driving or track-ready builds. Expect a more aggressive, performance-focused clutch feel.

Key Features:

Lightweight Construction: Sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass for faster revs and improved acceleration

4140 Chromoly Steel: Heat-treated to HRC 28–32 for outstanding strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability

Precision-Balanced: Exceeds OEM G16 specification (175 g-mm) for smooth, high-RPM operation

Black Oxide Coating: Offers corrosion resistance and a professional finish

OE-Compatible Fitment: Designed to work seamlessly with N14 architecture clutch kits

SFI 1.1 Certified: Proven safe and reliable under extreme operating conditions

Optimized Step Height: Ensures maximum clutch clamping force and long-term durability

Performance Gains:

OEM Dual-Mass Flywheel Weight: 28.3 lbs

ECS Single-Mass Flywheel Weight: 18.8 lbs

Weight Savings: Nearly 10 lbs of reduced rotational mass

Results: Sharper throttle response, more precise rev-matching, and a more engaging driving experience

Kit Includes:

ECS N14/N18 Lightweight Performance Flywheel

South Bend Stage Two “Daily” Clutch Kit

Pilot Bearing

Throw-Out Bearing

Clutch Alignment Tool
