Fitment questions
Does the BMW i3 have a dual mass flywheel?
No — the BMW i3 does not have a dual mass flywheel on any variant. The i3 is a fully electric vehicle (BEV) or, in the range-extender version (i3 REx), uses a tiny two-cylinder petrol engine that drives a generator rather than connecting mechanically to a conventional gearbox, so no clutch or flywheel assembly of any kind is fitted to any i3. If you are searching for a dual mass flywheel, you may be thinking of a different BMW model, or there may have been a mix-up with the vehicle details.
I've been told my BMW i3 needs a new flywheel — is that right?
It is very unlikely, as the i3 never left the factory with a flywheel of any type, dual mass or otherwise. The standard i3 is fully electric and uses a single-speed reduction gear rather than a clutch-based gearbox, and even the i3 REx range-extender model uses its small petrol engine solely to generate electricity with no mechanical drive to the wheels. It is worth double-checking the diagnosis — the fault may lie with a different component such as the electric motor, inverter, or in the REx variant, the generator or its small engine.
Could a dual mass flywheel from another BMW fit the i3?
No — because no variant of the BMW i3 has a mounting point, clutch housing, or conventional gearbox input shaft that a dual mass flywheel could attach to, fitting one is not possible. The i3's drivetrain is fundamentally different from BMW's petrol and diesel models that do use dual mass flywheels, such as the 1 Series or 3 Series. If you have been quoted for this part in connection with an i3, we would suggest going back to the supplier to query whether there has been a vehicle identification error.
What part should I actually be looking for if my BMW i3 has a vibration or drivetrain noise?
On a standard electric i3, common causes of drivetrain noise or vibration include the electric motor, the single-speed reduction gearbox, driveshafts, or wheel bearings — none of which are a flywheel. On the i3 REx range-extender, the two-cylinder generator engine has its own internal components including its crankshaft and balancer shafts, so if a noise is coming from that unit you would be looking at generator or engine internals rather than a flywheel. A BMW-specialist independent or an EV-experienced breaker would be better placed to help identify the correct part once the fault has been properly diagnosed.
