Flywheel Luk or Sachs

I have Sachs SRE765 with light billet flywheel. With that you dont have to worry about anything even if decided to boost your car. And its very driveable as a daily toi

I bought an OEM Luk flywheel ($500) and OEM Luk clutch ($250) from eBay. And bolts, bushings, and other required bits for like $150. I brought it to my local Euro shop and they did everything for around ~$700, and that included changing the center support bearing, guibo, transmission mounts, shifter bushings, etc. This was on an E92 but I can't imagine an F30 being much different. Also yeah, you should change out the flywheel. Those generally fail before the clutch even does.

LUK invented the flywheel and the self adjusting clutch. Only gripe I had when I bought a LUK flywheel for my E46 despite looking identical to the original one it was 1kg heavier, it also had balancing weights with on whereas the original bmw one didn’t.

Everything went together without much issue. I used a Luk OEM dual mass flywheel along with the TT-RS disc and pressure plate. Had to drill out the holes for the dowels on the pressure plate just a bit but other than that, no surprises.

I believe I've found the correct one on amazon (Part # NFW7206) from the Sachs store.

I personally dont like the single mass ones they tend to have clatter the dual mass is smoother and is what came from the factory.

As for noise, stock! actually since the flywheel is brand slpankin new it is quieter than stock. Absolutely no chatter and no gear noise.

Only manage 150 miles so far, but the vast majority has been surface streets with lots of stop and go. Pedal effort has gone down as expected. It also feels more linear, whereas it was initially both heavy and progressive. The biggest difference I\u2019m noticing is the lack of inertia from the SMF. The chatter and gear lash has gotten louder, surprisingly.

Put a clutch in a Jeep Wrangler. Luk kit and Luk flywheel from local Napa. Get it running, was setting misfire codes on 2 companion cylinders. Scoped it and had a bunch of noise on the crank sensor that matched where the ignition for the two missing cylinders triggered.

That is extremely high! The labor time is 9.2 hours. Bolts from the dealerships are always out of line. You can purchase a dual mass flywheel kit for $1100, if that what the factory one is. Sachs makes some clutch kits with a flywheel that sells for $750 online.
