Flywheel replacement.

Hi all
Is it a must to replace the flywheel when I replace the clutch on my 2005 X3 2.0D.
Please any info much appreciated. 160 000 k's on clock.

IMO, not sure if it is a must but definitely recommended. Those dual mass flywheels do deteriorate with time. Instead of having to do the job a second time when the flywheel fails I would say do the whole thing once. My 2c

if you wanna be cheap you can always go with a custom single mass flywheel it will work but you might get vibrations

I was thinking of going that route on my e46 320d. How bad are the vibrations?

On my e46 years back I replaced the clutch only and eventually ended up removing gearbox again and fitting a new dualmass flywheel. So I recomend teplace

Check with @Danny@DSCmotorsport, He might do the clutch at a much better price compared to BMW and his service and work is top notch!

He is in Edenvale

Definitely recommended to replace the flywheel. Avoid doing the same job twice

It is expensive but will be good for a long time.
