Clutch Masters 14-19 BMW F80 M2 3.0L/12-18 BMW F80 M3 3.0L 7-Spd DCT Aluminum Flywheel w/Sprung Hub
BMW's seven speed M-DCT shifts in milliseconds, but the engine side of it carries a heavy factory flywheel that slows how quickly the six cylinder revs. Clutch Masters DCT-795-AL replaces it with a hard anodized billet aluminum flywheel and a sprung, dampened hub for DCT cars with the 6-bolt crankshaft: the F87 M2, F80 M3, F82 M4, and the N55 era 135i, 335i and Z4. Owners shopping for it usually want sharper throttle response on a tuned car, or need a stronger replacement after the original part has started to rattle or vibrate.
In a DCT car the two clutch packs live inside the transmission, so the flywheel on the crank does not carry a clutch disc. Its job is to connect the crankshaft to the transmission input and soak up the firing pulses of the engine before they reach the gearbox. Clutch Masters says the factory DCT flywheel is very heavy, and that rigid, non-dampened lightweight flywheels have been known to crack the clutch baskets inside these transmissions. Their answer is a sprung hub carrier, built from the same damper technology they use in their clutch discs, bolted to a light aluminum flywheel. The light mass lets the engine rev and shift faster, while the springs keep the vibration out of the transmission at high rpm shifts and in stop and go traffic.
Clutch Masters lists the kit as the hard anodized 6061 billet aluminum flywheel for 6-bolt cranks, the heavy duty sprung hub carrier, and crank bolts. Shipping weight is 13 lb. Our lightweight vs stock flywheel guide covers the trade-offs.
Driveline noise has many sources on these cars, including engine mounts, transmission mounts and the driveshaft guibo. Scan the DCT for stored faults first and rule out mounts before you pull the gearbox. Our dual mass flywheel failure guide explains how to separate a flywheel problem from a mount problem, and our repair cost guide helps you plan labor. If you are still deciding between a DCT and a conventional automatic, read DCT vs automatic.
Clutch Masters lists DCT-795-AL for these 7-speed DCT cars: 2009-2013 BMW 135i (E82), 2010-2013 335i with the N55 6-bolt crank (E92), 2014-2019 M2 (F87), 2012-2018 M3 (F80), 2013-2019 M4 (F82) and 2008-2016 Z4 (E89). Our title says F80 M2, but the M2 chassis code is F87; the fitment is the same list. Count the flywheel bolts on your crank before you order. If it has 8 bolts, as on the N54 335i, you need the Clutch Masters DCT-055-AL 8-bolt version instead. This part is for DCT cars only, not six speed manual cars. Send us your year and VIN and we will confirm the match.

No. DCT-795-AL is only for the 7-speed DCT. Manual cars use a clutch and flywheel assembly with a different design.
Count the flywheel bolts on the crankshaft. N55 and S55 cars use 6 bolts and take this part. N54 cars use 8 bolts and need DCT-055-AL.
Clutch Masters built this one with a sprung, dampened hub because rigid lightweight flywheels have been known to crack DCT clutch baskets. The hub absorbs the vibration that causes that.
Clutch Masters lists a hard anodized billet aluminum flywheel for 6-bolt cranks, a heavy duty sprung hub carrier and crank bolts.
No tune is needed for the flywheel, but resetting the DCT adaptations with a BMW capable scan tool after the transmission goes back in is good practice.
