JBR - S50us / S52us Flywheel (also fits M50 & M52)

Light weight= more to the ground!

Your stock flywheel weights range from approximately 24-29lbs on the E36... Ouch, HEAVY!
This has a huge impact on the S50/S52 US engines as they are typically characterized as not having true "M Car" throttle response. The US spec E36 M3 engine is really a GREAT motor, but can feel sluggish with the heavy OE flywheel.

This super light JB Racing Flywheel is only 11 Lbs, and offers lightning fast upshifts and down shifts, amazing improvement in throttle response, durability, and more power to the ground by reduced rotating mass.

Many customers have called a light weight flywheel and clutch "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 decelaration
  • 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.
Tech notes:
-This flywheel is larger than std M50 & M52. It will fit M50 & M52 engines when used along with an E36 M3 clutch kit.

-PLEASE NOTE: light weight flywheels do not the heavy damping as the OE flywheel. You will notice the improved performance immediately but a typical side effect is some "chatter" noise at idle when the clutch is not depressed.
This is not-a-defect but the nature of the way BMWs transmissions are designed. While this is not usually a problem for the enthusiast, if you are sensitive to noise please be aware.
