Fitment questions
Does the BMW i5 have a flywheel?
No – the BMW i5 is a fully electric vehicle with no internal combustion engine, so it does not have a flywheel at any trim level or in any configuration. Electric motors have no need for a flywheel, which exists on combustion engines to smooth out power pulses and connect the engine to a gearbox clutch. If you are searching for a flywheel, you may actually own a BMW 5 Series (G60 platform, petrol or diesel variants) rather than the electric i5, so it is worth double-checking your V5 to confirm the exact model.
I searched for a BMW i5 flywheel – why can't I find one listed anywhere?
No listing exists because the part does not exist on this vehicle – the i5 uses one or two electric motors and has no combustion engine, gearbox clutch, or flywheel. Breakers stripping an i5 will have high-voltage drivetrain components such as the motor, inverter, and battery modules, but never a flywheel. If you have a petrol or diesel 5 Series (for example a 520i or 530d on the G30 or G60 generation) rather than the electric i5, search under the correct model and your engine code for the right flywheel listings.
Could the BMW i5 M60 xDrive have a flywheel given it has a more powerful drivetrain?
No – the i5 M60 xDrive is still a fully electric vehicle; the M60 designation refers to BMW's performance electric sub-brand, not a combustion engine. It uses dual electric motors producing around 601 hp with no clutch or flywheel anywhere in the drivetrain. If you need performance drivetrain parts for a combustion-engined BMW M5, that is a completely different vehicle and you should search under the M5's specific engine code.
Will a flywheel from a 5 Series fit my i5?
A 5 Series flywheel physically cannot be fitted to an i5 because the i5 has no mounting point, crankshaft, or bellhousing for one – the entire drivetrain architecture is different. If you have established that you actually need a flywheel and your car is registered as a 5 Series rather than an i5, search by your specific engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) to find the correct match from a breaker. Engine code is the most important detail for flywheel fitment on any combustion 5 Series.
What part should I be looking for instead if I thought I needed a BMW i5 flywheel?
On an electric vehicle like the i5, the closest functional equivalents involved in power delivery are the electric motor itself, the reduction gearbox (single-speed), the inverter, or the half-shafts depending on what symptom you are experiencing. If you are getting vibration or drivetrain noise, a breaker can advise whether the motor, driveshaft, or suspension components are the likely cause. Describing your symptom to the breaker alongside your full registration will help them identify the correct used part from a scrapped i5.
