    hi folks, i got a 520i with an M50 auto as a daily driver... just not much fun.
    i live in thailand and so far i haven't seen a manual tranny setup or even a flywheel from an M50 for sale(very rare here:wack:)

    i was wondering if flywheels from other bmw engines will also fit on a M50??? getting a custom machined or importing gonna run too expensive... if u know a cheap solution pls let me know.

    btw the car will stay mostly stock and be my daily driver just wanna have some fun thats all

    If I'm not mistaken m52 flywheels are the same but use a larger 240mm clutch disc. Just need a matching set

    M52 as in 328 240mm or 323 220? Mm or even m3 240mm. It's literally just a case of getting the correct flywheel to match the clutch

    M20 flywheels bolt up, bit of modifying involved but nothing major and is a good mod for an M50.
