BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

Sway bars transmit cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, helping to keep the vehicle flat during cornering. This, in turn, reduces body roll and improves the driver's cornering confidence. OEM rubber sway bar bushings are designed with comfort in mind, allowing the sway bar to articulate while permitting additional movement, leading to less-than-ideal bar retention and causes unnecessary body roll.

Powerflex polyurethane sway bar bushings are firmer than factory rubber bushings, reducing body roll and keeping sway bars in check. Polyurethane bushings won't slop around like OEM bushings, allowing sway bars to function at their fullest potential.

Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers.

BMW E36 328i, Z3 2.8 JB Racing Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel offers a significant performance upgrade by replacing the heavy stock steel flywheel with a much lighter aluminum version. This JB Racing flywheel is designed to deliver faster acceleration, improved throttle response, and enhanced overall performance for your BMW.

The modern stock flywheels are burdened with additional components meant to dampen vibrations, which unfortunately adds unnecessary weight. The JB Racing aluminum flywheel, weighing just 10.0 lbs compared to the stock 25.0 lbs, eliminates this excess mass, allowing more power to reach the wheels and reducing the energy wasted on spinning the flywheel. Engine builders prioritize lightweight flywheels when optimizing race engines for maximum efficiency, and the difference is especially noticeable in how quickly the engine revs and reaches its power band.

This JB Racing lightweight flywheel is a direct replacement for the stock flywheel and is compatible with the factory BMW organic clutch. This compatibility ensures that you can use standard replacement clutches, making maintenance simple and cost-effective. The flywheel can also be resurfaced for a fresh contact surface, so there’s no need to buy a new one when it’s time to replace the clutch.

While single-mass aluminum flywheels like this one may result in slightly more noise and vibration compared to dual-mass designs, this can be managed with heavier transmission oil and sprung hub clutches, such as the Sachs Performance clutch available through Turner Motorsport.

• Faster acceleration: Reduces the rotational mass for quicker engine response.
• Improved throttle response: Engine revs more freely and builds RPM faster.
• Enhanced performance: More power delivered to the wheels for better driving dynamics.
• Cost-effective maintenance: Compatible with factory BMW organic clutches and can be resurfaced.
• Direct replacement: Easy upgrade with no modifications required.

Vehicle Compatibility:

• 1996-1999 E36 BMW 328i, 328is, 328ic
• 1997-1998 Z3 BMW Z3 2.8

BMW E36 M3 Z3 XACT Flywheel Streetlite is a high-performance upgrade designed to enhance engine response and acceleration.

Upgrade the whole driving experience of your car with a single mass clutch and flywheel conversation paired with new upgraded engine and transmission mounts. These street durometer mounts are 70 and 75 durometer for an improved but not too harsh driving experience. This clutch and flywheel upgrade features a slightly heavier pedal feel with smooth engagement, paired with your upgraded drivetrain mounts you are sure to have confidence in how sturdy your car drives!

Our performance clutch and flywheel kit utilizes an upgraded ECS E34 M5 clutch kit with our in-house engineered flywheel to fit all M5x and S5x motors with a 5-speed transmission. By eliminating the dual-mass flywheel and replacing it with a single-mass we are able to eliminate the slack and extra weight of the flywheel for a quicker throttle response and acceleration. Our upgraded clutch kit utilizes all the best features of the original M5 clutch with an upgraded pressure plate and clutch disc, with the new clutch you have a better, more engaged clutch pedal feel, engagement, and longevity.

Whether you're replacing a worn-out clutch or upgrading for increased power handling, this E34 M5 clutch and flywheel kit offers a reliable solution for enhanced pedal feel, power capacity, and overall driving satisfaction.

Paired with a modified geometry flywheel, the E34 M5 style clutch is ideally suited for most E36, E46, and others using the same powertrain. It checks all the boxes for essential clutch replacement features. While some aftermarket options may address slipping issues and worn-out clutches, they often sacrifice pedal feel, providing little to no resistance. A soft clutch not only kills the driving experience of your BMW but also reduces confidence when pushing the car to its limits.

On the contrary, you might be in the market for an upgraded clutch to handle your modified engine/forced induction builds. You go from an OE or aftermarket clutch option that has a lackluster and soft pedal feel to the complete opposite side of the spectrum, a very stiff clutch that grabs like an on-and-off switch making the clutch a pain almost undrivable on the street resulting in your favorite car turning into your least favorite car to drive.

The E34 M5 clutch and flywheel kit balances performance with practicality, ensuring a satisfying driving experience whether you're maintaining your BMW or preparing it for increased power demands.

70A durometer rating - slightly stiffer than stock for improved shifting quality and driveline performance. Constructed of 304 stainless steel with bonded and constrained polyurethane. The transmission mounts in your car play a critical role in your suspension. With this in mind, the stock mounts have been known to experience failures causing over-revving, mis-shifts, and in extreme cases, even chassis damage. Combat this issue with upgraded polyurethane transmission mounts from ECS Tuning. Designed with the street and track in mind, we've got you covered no matter your driving style. Fears of torn mounts are a thing of the past; a mechanical interlock feature makes these mounts ideal even for high-torque, forced-induction applications. Engine Mounts - 75A Durometer

Keep your engine securely mounted with our solid, non-fluid-filled mounts. Our ECS 75A Durometer engine mounts are custom-made in-house by our leading R&D department. These mounts result from countless hours of research and testing to establish the best possible bushing design to minimize engine vibration and driveline deflection while maximizing strength. ECS Tuning's primary goal was to achieve an economical, durable & compliant ride while maximizing performance. After putting down thousands of real-world test miles on multiple vehicles, we've done just that. With exposure to heat and elements, your motor mounts will break down with increasing age. A secure mount* is vital to reduce drivetrain vibration and transfer as much horsepower to the wheels as possible. These mounts are an upgrade for non-M E36/E46 owners seeking a stiffer mount without sacrificing comfort and ride quality.
