What is the main difference between a steel and an aluminum flywheel?

Steel flywheels are generally heavier than aluminum ones. This added mass helps smooth out engine idle and provides a more consistent clutch engagement. Steel also tends to dissipate heat better, which is beneficial for high-performance or turbocharged applications.

Do I need to replace my clutch disc and pressure plate when installing this flywheel?

While this flywheel is designed to fit your BMW 135i, it's highly recommended to inspect your clutch disc and pressure plate. If they show signs of wear, it's best to replace them at the same time to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your new flywheel.

Does this flywheel come with any hardware?

This flywheel is sold individually. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required hardware and any specific installation procedures for your vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

This is a Clutch Masters steel flywheel specifically made for the 2008-2010 BMW 135i with the 3.0L twin-turbo engine. If you're looking to replace your original flywheel or upgrade to a more robust option for performance driving, this part is designed to handle the demands of your turbocharged BMW.

Clutch Masters is known for making well-built drivetrain components, and this steel flywheel is no exception. Steel flywheels are a popular choice because they offer a good balance of durability and performance for many applications. They are generally heavier than aluminum flywheels, which can help smooth out engine idle and provide a more consistent engagement when you're taking off from a stop or shifting gears. This added mass also helps dissipate heat, which is important for a turbocharged engine like the one in your 135i, especially if you plan on spirited driving or track use. The flywheel is designed to be a direct replacement for your stock unit, meaning it should fit right onto your crankshaft without needing modifications, assuming your clutch disc and pressure plate are also compatible with a standard single-mass steel flywheel setup.

When installing a new flywheel, it's always a good idea to inspect your clutch components, including the clutch disc and pressure plate, to ensure they are in good condition. If your clutch is also due for replacement, consider getting a matched set to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific torque specifications and any special procedures required for your BMW 135i.
