    Using an E36 trans? I recommend the JB Racing aluminum flywheel and clutch if so.

        Lola got the complete F1 Racing Stage 1 kit with the Chromoly flywheel. Great product for the price.

            UUC also makes a good fly/clutch combo. A little expensive though.

              I am rocking the UUC flywheel/clutch kit with my S52 and ZF320

              You get what you pay for when it comes to something like this. It is definitely worth the money, as the flywheel weighs just 8.5 lbs.

              Car sees daily driver duties all the time, and I have no complaints.

                Act is big in the Dsm world, not so common in the BMW world.

                  Anyone using m20 single mass flywheel (shaved down for oil pan clearance) with 98 m3 zf tranny? What clutch would you recommend for street driving? Thanks

                    If you want a super smooth ride the stock S52 flywheel /clutch setup is great. If you want something a little lighter I highly recommend the F1 chromoly flywheel over the UUC. Its a single mass and just the right weight that it doesn't screw up your idle or require an idle bump in your tune.

                    The UUC is too light for the S50/S52 and screws up the harmonic balance of the drive train that creates chatter on clutch engagement and fatigues pressure plates to the point of complete strap failure (I've seen this happen multiple times.). Honestly do not recommend anything less than 12lbs. Lighter is not always better. Especially if its a daily driver.

                      What pressure plate and throw-out bearing? I'm running UUC+m5 clutch kit right now. I'm thinking about replacing the flywheel to a bit heavier one as I'm getting annoyed by the gear noise on my daily driver.

                        Im running Uuc flywheel and the m5 clutch and pressure plate and I need to change this asap. Right now my clutch is not holding the power.

                        I have around 255whp but looking for more hp and I need a combination I can trust and I only use my car on weekends and during track days.
