JBR Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel (BMW M40/M42/M44) E30 E36 Z3

Lighten up!

Your stock flywheel weights over 27lbs… Ouch, that’s HEAVY! This factory dual mass flywheel has a huge impact on the peppy little 4-cyl engine in your BMW: They are typically characterized as ‘’sluggish’’ and not having the M Car personality enthusiast crave when they drive.

Our super light JB Racing Flywheel weighs in at only 9 Lbs, and offers lightning fast up shifts and down shifts, amazing improvement in throttle response, durability, and more power to the ground by reduced rotating mass. A real upgrade without messing with the engine or gearing of the car.

Many customers have called a light weight flywheel "The best bang-for-the-buck money I have spent on my car".

Features:

• Reduces rotating mass and moment of inertia to allow for quicker acceleration and deceleration
• Enhances engine personality and response
• Features a replaceable heavy duty friction surface and OEM ring gear
• Supplied ready to bolt in, with hardware, and accepts original clutch sets or upgraded clutch kits.

VAC Techs Tip:
We recommend pairing a lightweight clutch with a ‘spring hub’ style Clutchmasters clutch. This will offer better power holding during sporty driving, and the sprung hub helps reduce clutch chatter and noise when used with a single mass flywheel like the JB Racing pieces.

Important install note from JBR:
Non-a/c equipped cars have a different flywheel that A/C equipped cars. These were sold outside of the US market. If you have a Non-A/C version, you must purchase the A/C-Equipped clutch for use with the JBR replacement flywheel.
