Used BMW M8 Dual Mass Flywheel

The BMW M8 is powered by the S63 twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine and is only available with an 8-speed automatic gearbox (ZF 8HP) — it has never been offered with a manual gearbox in any variant. Because a dual mass flywheel is a component associated with manual gearboxes (and some automated manual transmissions), the M8 does not have one; the automatic transmission uses a torque converter instead. If you are hearing a rattle or vibration that led you here, the fault is more likely related to the torque converter, transmission mounts, or another drivetrain component — speak to a BMW specialist or ask a breaker what the correct part is for your symptoms.

Almost certainly, yes — the BMW M8 uses the S63 V8 paired exclusively with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, which does not use a dual mass flywheel at any point in the M8's production run from 2018 onwards. It is possible the part has been misdiagnosed, or the quote was generated against an incorrect vehicle. We would recommend confirming your exact fault and registration with the breaker so they can identify the correct component.

No — the M8 Competition and M8 Gran Coupe share the same S63 engine and ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox as the standard M8, so none of these variants have a dual mass flywheel fitted. Trim level, body style, and the Competition badge make no difference here because the drivetrain layout is identical across the M8 range. If a breaker is quoting you a flywheel for any of these, it is worth double-checking the diagnosis before purchasing.

Since the M8 does not use a dual mass flywheel, there is no application for one on this vehicle regardless of what other BMWs it may share components with. Other BMW models using manual gearboxes — such as certain M3 or M4 variants — do use dual mass flywheels, so it is possible there has been a mix-up in part identification. Provide your registration and the specific fault or symptom to a breaker and they will be able to point you toward the correct component for your car.

Common culprits for drivetrain noise or vibration on the M8 include the torque converter, transmission mounts, driveshaft (propshaft) couplings, or differential components — none of which are a dual mass flywheel. A proper diagnostic check, ideally with BMW-compatible software, will help pinpoint the source before you search for parts. Once you have a confirmed fault and ideally your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check, a breaker will be much better placed to quote you the right used part.
