A buyer's guide to used BMW M3 flywheel
No two flywheels are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State whether it's manual or automatic

Fitment questions
Does the BMW M3 have a flywheel, or is it only found on certain variants?
The M3 has always been a petrol-engined, rear-wheel-drive car, so yes, all variants carry a flywheel — it sits between the engine and gearbox as part of the drivetrain. However, only M3s with a manual gearbox use a traditional friction-disc flywheel in the conventional sense; those fitted with the SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) or the later DCT (dual-clutch) automated gearboxes use a different arrangement and you should confirm exactly what you need with the breaker against your registration.
Will a flywheel from an E46 M3 (2000–2006) fit my E90/E92/E93 M3 (2007–2013)?
These two generations use completely different engines — the E46 M3 uses the S54 straight-six, while the E90/E92/E93 M3 uses the S65 V8 — so their flywheels are not interchangeable. Always give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) to ensure you're quoted the correct part for your generation.
Does it matter whether my M3 is a saloon, coupe, or convertible when buying a used flywheel?
No — body style makes no difference to flywheel fitment on the M3. The flywheel is determined by the engine and gearbox combination, not by whether your car is a coupe, saloon (E90 generation only), or convertible, so you don't need to specify body style when asking a breaker for a quote.
Will a flywheel from a pre-facelift E92 M3 fit a post-facelift E92 M3?
The E92 M3 ran from 2007 to 2013 with a mid-cycle facelift around 2010, but the S65 V8 engine code remained consistent across the production run, so the core flywheel specification did not change with the facelift. That said, confirm with the breaker against your registration in case of any ancillary or mounting changes introduced during production, as these can occasionally vary without a formal model-year break.
I have an F80 M3 (2014–2018) — does it use the same flywheel as the E9x M3?
No — the F80 M3 introduced the S55 turbocharged straight-six engine, which is a completely different unit to the naturally aspirated S65 V8 in the E90/E92/E93 generation, so the flywheels are not interchangeable between these generations. Provide your engine code and gearbox type (manual or DCT) to the breaker so they can source the correct flywheel for your S55-engined car.
Does the Competition trim on the F80 M3 need a different flywheel?
Trim level — including Competition — does not affect flywheel fitment on the F80 M3; what matters is the engine code (S55) and whether your car has a manual or DCT gearbox, both of which are shared across standard and Competition variants. The Competition pack alters suspension, exhaust tuning, and cosmetics, none of which have any bearing on flywheel specification, so a breaker simply needs your engine code and gearbox type to find you the right part.
